I forced myself to sit through Elektra. I did this despite having seen Daredevil in which Jennifer Garner’s character appeared to die, so I’ve only myself to blame.

Anyway she reappears here to no great effect and is revived by Terence Stamp, doing his standard impression of a wise mentor, and somehow ends up on a mission to bump off Goran Visjnic and his daughter, presumably because he’s the only person with a bigger jawbone than Jennifer Garner. Then a load of special effects budget is spent on a variety of unlikely assassins in a forest, generating absolutely no tension before the inevitable finish.

It’s all very well made by X-Files/Reign of Fire director Rob Bowman, but there’s no reason to see it.
