Elektra: Bustier More Interesting Than Film?

I wonder if Jennifer Garner is creeped out by the likelihood that a "bustier sniffer" is going to grab her Elektra movie costume?

    Current bid: US $2,850.00


    This auction is right up the alley of all of you ELEKTRA and JENNIFER GARNER fans out there!

    Here is your ONE and ONLY CHANCE to bid on an official movie memorabilia item direct from the critically acclaimed Twentieth Century Fox blockbuster, "ELEKTRA"!

    (Better red than dead, in this case anyway)

    This bustier was worn by the lead character "ELEKTRA" during the production of this action packed movie. This bustier can't be missed! It is even seen in several advertisement trailers!

    This is a rare find indeed! Don't let this AWESOME opportunity to own the ONE and ONLY ITEM to be auctioned from the film "ELEKTRA" pass you by.

    Don’t wait, bid now and good luck! Be sure to catch this exciting film in theaters January 14th!

    All net proceeds for this item will be donated to The American Red Cross for Tsunami Relief

From what I can glean from the trailer, the hotness that is Jennifer Garner has returned to life as a solitary assassin after being treated quite rudely by Colin Farrell at the end of Daredevil, and besides moving about slinkily, lethally — looks can kill and all — in the above-mentioned red bustier, she has the "limited ability to see the future" and appears intent on protecting a teenage girl/protege (Kirsten Prout) from a gang of supernatural bad guys in a visual milieu not unrecognizable from the Kill Bills.

A sampling of reviews range from the excoriating to the dismissive to the respectful.

    Sounds like Alias + a little bit of sci-fi - a little bit of clothing.

    Not bad, that. But I think I'll save my 2,800 hunny and find something else to sniff (he said a bit smugly).

    I'm lucky - the bustier wouldn't fit my loving spouse (cup too small). So I'm not even tempted. But yes, the slinkiness and costuming is a major draw for the character.
