Elektra is a 2005 action-packed thriller film directed by Rob Bowman and starring Jennifer Garner, Goran Visnjic, and Will Yun Lee in lead roles. The movie is a spin-off of the 2003 film Daredevil, which also featured Jennifer Garner as the character Elektra Natchios. The plot of the movie revolves around Elektra Natchios, who is resurrected by the villainous organization, The Hand, after being killed in the Daredevil movie. She is trained by them as a deadly assassin and becomes one of their most lethal members. However, she becomes disillusioned with their beliefs and methods and leaves the Hand to start a new life.
Elektra then makes her way to a deserted island where she takes up residence and tries to leads a peaceful life. But her tranquility is disturbed when a father and daughter, Mark and Abby Miller (Goran Visnjic and Kirsten Prout), move into the neighboring house. The Millers are being hunted by the Hand and Elektra, who develops a bond with Abby, decides to fight for their survival.
The Hand, on the other hand, sends their own assassins after Elektra, including the gifted ninja Kirigi (Will Yun Lee). Elektra's fight with the Hand becomes personal when she discovers that Kirigi is the one who killed her mother when she was a child.
As the Hand closes in on them, Elektra trains Abby in martial arts and weapons to prepare her for the impending battle. Elektra, too, has to hone her own skills and courage to defeat her foes, who are determined to take her back into the organization, dead or alive.
The movie is filled with exhilarating action sequences and breathtaking martial arts combat. Jennifer Garner is impeccable as Elektra, bringing her strength, agility, and grace to the character. Goran Visnjic and Kirsten Prout also deliver great performances as the Miller family, who depend on Elektra to protect them. Will Yun Lee is also notable as the cold and calculating Kirigi.
The movie boasts a visually stunning set design and eye-catching cinematography. The film's score is composed by Christophe Beck and is aptly atmospheric, adding to the overall suspense and tension.
In conclusion, Elektra is an exciting and suspenseful action film that will keep you entertained till the end. With great performances, spectacular action sequences, and stunning cinematography, the movie is a worthy spin-off to the Daredevil franchise.
