Matt Murdock's life was defined by his boxing father, but when he was blinded by an accident involving radioactive waste his life was thrown into a spiral of pain and discovery. Because his sight has been stolen, his other senses become ultra refined; allowing his to achieve perfect awareness of his body and fine tuning his fighting abilities. When his father is killed unjustly, Murdock gets the need for revenge - becoming a lawyer and making criminals pay, whatever the cost. These unconventional methods give him a reputation as a villain by the local press. When he falls in love with a young daughter of an extremely rich businessman, and said father is killed, she instantly suspects him of being the murderer. Elektra who was brought up a warrior and has the abilities of a super hero herself and goes after Daredevil for revenge. Meanwhile the Kingpin -a hugely influential gangster- watches over the crime and punishment, meddling himself - with disastrous consequences.

Daredevil does have its nice moments. Most of them include the vibrant and beautiful Jennifer Garner- but I will come to her later-. Unlike many I quite enjoyed the central romance, it doesn't require too much investment but is still emotional enough to make an impact, both the romantic leads are believable as a couple and the script captures some beautiful moments. The most romantic sequence arises when Elektra takes the blind assassin up onto the roof, where it rains and the vibrations of said rain drops allow him to see her for the first time -it sounds corny here, but in the context of the film its quite sweet.-I am not a comic book reader but I used to enjoy the Elektra comics and she is not represented well here; where she should be dark and seductive she is soft and unthreatening. It isn't until her fathers death that the character really flourishes. Happily the romance doesn't lead to a predictable path and it resolution opens the film up for a unordinary finale. Daredevil also has its emotional scenes, namely the funeral of Elektra's father, where it rains again, but this time she holds up an umbrella so that Matt cant see her through the shimmering downpour. -couple this with Evanescence's My Immortal and some moody camera work and you have a surprisingly emotional hit.- Yes, Daredevil does have its moment of cinematic presence but they come few and far between.

Jennifer Garner is a wonderful actress; strikingly beautiful with her high cheekbones, moon pale skin and plum, thick lips she looks good enough to eat - she can also act her socks off. I would say that here she is the biggest highlight she's engaging and confident, remarkably capable of dealing with the action sequences and a charming romantic lead with an understanding of her character and she displays great presence. Garner injects a lot of emotion into her character; but it is in the second act the she and her onscreen persona flourishes in a mad search for revenge. Here, Garner shows off her moves -which are extremely impressive- with a sequence that sees her using her sais to devastating effect. In the above mentioned funeral scene she reaches a level of poignancy that the script shouldn't allow - with her understated but wrenchingly portrayal of a woman losing everything she ever wanted. I believe that she could become one of Hollywood's foremost action actresses; she's intelligent, talented and sexy. The best performances of the piece; proving that she deserves her place in the Hollywood A list. In contrast Ben Affleck pales, he's dull, unemotive and the least impressive action hero in recent memory.
