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.

Jennifer Garner inhabits her role with earnest gusto, but Elektra's tone deaf script is too self-serious and bereft of intelligent dialogue to provide engaging thrills.

'Elektra' received mixed reviews, highlighting Jennifer Garner's performance and action sequences. Many praised her portrayal and the fight scenes for their intensity and choreography. However, criticisms focused on the clichéd, underdeveloped plot and weak villains. The special effects were deemed subpar, and the romantic subplot was seen as unnecessary and poorly executed. Despite these issues, some appreciated the film's entertainment value and visual style.
