ELEKTRA
Jennifer Garner First wore black and played Elektra in the movie Dare Devil 2003
Science Fiction/Fantasy
1 hr. 42 min. Based on the popular Marvel Comics character, this is the story of
Matt Murdock, son of a boxer who gets killed by petty criminals for refusing to
take a dive. This drives young Matt to fight crime, despite a childhood accident
that robbed him of his sight. That same accident, however, also granted him
exceptionally advanced senses of hearing, touch, taste and smell, as well as
providing him with a strange sort of mental radar that helps to compensate for
his lack of vision. After training hard in the martial arts, as well as
excelling in law school, Murdock becomes a lawyer by day and a vigilante calling
himself Daredevil by night.
Then in 2005 Jennifer did her own movie simply entitled Elektra

Elektra is a lethal synthesis of grace and power with the mystical power known
as Kimagure: a limited ability to see the future. She has purposefully severed
all ties with the world and lives only for her next assignment. Elektra's latest
job forces her to make a decision that can take her life in a whole new
direction or destroy her.
Kirigi and The Order of the Hand send Elektra on a mission to kill the widower
Mark Miller and his daughter Abby. Elektra becomes friendly with the two Millers
and allies herself with him and defends them both from Kirigi's ninjas and other
assassins. But is there more to the Millers than meets the eye?
Elektra, once a student of Kimagure, a force for good, who's masters can see the
future and even bring people back from the dead, is now a paid assassin. The
enemy, the force for evil, at this time is known as the hand, whose members use
the dark arts. In this tale Elektra is given an assignment to kill a man and his
daughter. However when the time comes to complete the mission she is unable to.
The daughter is also being sought by the Hand, for she is known as a treasure
that can tip the scales in favor of either good or evil. The Hand, who have the
policy of "If we can't have her then no one can", send their own people to kill
her. Elektra then allies herself with the Millers and helps to protect them from
the Hand. The journey to the climax, the ultimate battle between good and evil
for the treasure, has some interesting revelations, heading for a finale with an
interesting twist
