The Eternal (1999), known as Trace outside of the USA, looked like it was going to be OK, so we took a chance on it.  But, when the opening credits started rolling with Cat Power playing, I became more optimistic.

Christopher Walken is great in this movie.  He's one of my favorite actors.  Someone in the movie does a hilarious impression of him.  There is also a strange young girl in the movie named Alice.  I always like characters named Alice. The movie was directed by Michael Almereyda, who is a great director.

I liked the story.  It's well acted and visually stunning.  It's set in Ireland, and the footage of the countryside is amazing.
