Garner's charms extend beyond the mere physical. Simply by showing up, she makes Elektra far more entertaining than it has a right to be.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
This doesn't exactly set the world on fire, but I was charmed by its old-fashioned storytelling, which is refreshingly free of archness, self-consciousness, or Kill Bill-style wisecracks.
Everything comes back to Garner, though -- and even when the movie takes itself too seriously, thankfully she never does.
Elektra shoves Frank Miller's eponymous cold-blooded assassin into a PG-13-friendly adventure.
A none too Marvel-lous spin-off from Daredevil.
