A second life, a second chance!

Jennifer Garner stars in the title role, a heroine who has been brought back from the dead and who now works as an assassin, going from one mission to another. So it should come as no surprise that when she is ordered to take out two targets she has become a little attached to things go a little bit haywire.
She meets a widowed father Mark (Goran Visnjic) and thirteen year old daughter Abby Miller (Kirsten Prout). Young Abby begins to bond with Elektra and of course she relates to Abby, after losing her mother at an early age also.
Afterwards, Elektra finds out that Mark and Abby are her next assignment, and that a group of highly skilled and mystical vigilantes called "The Hand" are the ones who put the hit on the Millers. Elektra tries to kill the Millers, but alas, she just can't seem to do it.
Overall, ELEKTRA is pretty entertaining. We have some more impressive opponents for our sexily-clad heroine in the shape of people with names like Stone, Tattoo and Typhoid (all of them possessing various traits such as superior strength, useful tattoos that can work long-distance and an ability to kill everything that is touched, respectively). Kirsten Prout is good as the budding "treasure" and Terence Stamp plays Elektra’s mentor Stick.
