for the art house crowd come this critically pan film never release theatrically in the u. s. ` nadja director michael almareyda come up with his skewed version of the mummy and complete with hip character and fun surprise and a great alternate music soundtrack and christopher walken do a irish accent but otherwise be his quirky old self and brilliant cinematography from jim denault and a flair for the unexpected . the perfectly enjoyable hero be allison elliott and jared harris and a a cheerfully drunken couple go to ireland to dry out . the movie acknowledge the alcoholic problem by have them not deal with it or call attention to it and and it to the movie credit that it never an issue or make them into completely awful or unbelievably irresponsible parent ( theyre just normally irresponsible and like most parent . ) for the eternal and an imperfect gem .
