Whereas Revell seemed to be following vaguely in the Elfman groove for Daredevil, Beck seems to have been lumbered with a comic book movie and heroine with no real hook and the only musical feature of note is a vague eastern influence, albeit not in an especially striking way. The usual mixture of exotic pipes, oddly out of tune gongs and other percussion all get in on the act, although seem largely dispensed with for the action sequences. Here, the orchestral rock cum Revell style synthetic percussion prevails and while it's all done with some style and a surprising modesty of volume, little of it especially striking or memorable.
The finer moments generally rest with the quieter portions, notably The Kiss and The Homecoming, both of which feature that old standard for such scenes, the piano. However, there is a genuine melancholy, especially in the latter track, which is pleasingly atmospheric and dramatically engaging. The vocals in the final cue are similarly effective and make up for the uninspiring action of Hedge Maze Bawl. For better or worse, Elektra is a score largely as expected and little more. Beck doesn't quite have a strong enough musical personality or the melodic prowess to overcome the limitations of a fairly mundane heroine and unexceptional comic book movie. Solid enough, but in the wake of so many fine comic book movie scores, likely to slip by as unmemorably as its titular character.
