Elektra (2005)




Elektra the warrior survives a near-death experience, becomes an assassin-for-hire, and tries to protect her two latest targets, a single father and his young daughter, from a group of supernatural assassins.

Comic adaptations, especiallly of the superhero kind, are generally a slippery task (campy vs silly), but on this occasion the result is on simple B picture/Golan-Globus level.

Maltin*1/2: "Lackluster fight scenes, Garner's sleepwalking, and a tendency toward the psychoanalytic (Elektra had a tough childhood) make this a groan...a far cry from the franchise it was intended to launch."
