"Elektra".
Watched English movie "Elektra".
This movie is directed by Rob Bowman. Written by Zak Penn and others. Produced by Arnon Milchan and others. Cinematography by Bill Roe. Music by Christoph Beck. It features Jennifer Garner, Goran Visjic, Will Yun Lee, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Terrence Stamp. Film runs for about 1 hour and 37 minutes and was released in 2022. I watched it on 19th Jan 2023 on Netflix with Aditi.
Elektra is a Marvel character. She’s an assassin for hire and Kimagure practitioner. She has special abilities like Precognition, Telekinesis, Telepathy, Mind Switch, Hypnosis etc. One day she gets an assignment to kill a girl. She refuses. But if she wouldn’t, someone else will. What can she do?
Jennifer plays Elektra. A girl with a troubled past. A girl who’s mother is murdered. A girl who has nightmares. A young lady who is full of anger and violence but hasn’t found the way and has become an assassin. The girl, Abby, brings change in her.
The story is not gripping. Pace is slow for an action movie and superhero flick. A few more minutes would have helped with story, not pace.
Special effects are fantastic.
This movie didn’t recover the production cost and was a box office failure.
Positives: Jennifer, special effects.
Negatives: Pace.
Not a must watch.
