From the pages of Marvel Comics comes Elektra, the first action event movie of the year. In the ultimate battle between good and evil stands a warrior who makes the choice that tips the balance.
Not long after recovering from seemingly mortal wounds, Elektra (
Jennifer Garner) has severed all ties with the world, living only for her next assignment. But in an unexpected turn of events, she is forced to make a decision that can take her life in a new direction -- or destroy her.
Key players in Elektra's journey are Stick, a blind martial arts master responsible for Elektra's "resurrection," and Mark Miller and Abby Miller, a father and daughter on the run from The Hand, a powerful syndicate whose members practice the dark martial art of ninjitsu.
One of the finest comic book adaptations ever, with tremendous action and a seriously sexy Garner in the lead. I'm ready for ELEKTRA II!!!
