Bridget Pellegrini (Erika Hoveland) runs a pharmaceutical corporation
that has just invented something that could mean the fountain of youth -
but she finds the comany she has partnered with and its boss Oliver
(Richard Tyson) don't share her high moral standards and want to use the
invention for evil. Of course, Bridget wants to pull the plugs, but Oliver
isn't one to be easily dissuaded, plus he has already placed a few moles
in the development department, including development scientists Magnus
(Yan Birch) and Nikita (Vida Ghaffari).
Bridget's daughter Mira (Angelina Danielle Cama) and her friends have
made the acquaintance of a vagrant in the park, Afghanistan veteran Corey
(Damien Chinappi) who just tries to good, be it feeding the homeless or
saving prostitute Stephanie (Kaiti Wallen) from a violent john. They're
inspired by him and decide to support what he's doing - and it's before
long that it's actually Mira who needs Corey's help, as two kidnappers in
Oliver's employ (Scout Taylor Compton, Harley Wallen) have kidnapped her
parents and are now after her as well, and she really has no one else to
go to. Sure, theoretically she's safe with Corey, who also promises to
track down and save her parents, but Carter (Shane Hagedorn), an ally of
the kidnappers who poses as a cop, takes her best friend May (Calhoun
Koenig) hostage to smoke Mira out. And from here on, things only get more
complicated - and of course, more dangerous ...
Action movie legend Mel Novak plays one of Bridget's associates who
shares her moral standards - and pays for it with his life.
Sure, in writing, Eternal Code might sound a bit
convoluted, but thanks to a stringent screenplay and swiftly paced
directorial effort, the whole thing really comes to life on screen as it
avoids delving on particular plot points too much or trying to explain too
much away, instead keeps things at a steady flow, with plenty of action
and intrigue to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. And a solid
ensemble cast playing colourful roles really helps to keep viewers
invested in the on-screen goings-on.
