Review of The Irish Connection

The film starts with a wonderful conversation between two people you think is on a date before jumping into the story of double cross intrigue and fun. That tone pervades throughout the movie, with wisecracking and fun humour, and a subdued villain, at odds with the expected megalomaniac we are used to. But the film is all the better for it. There are some fantastic action set-pieces including a chase in maltese streets

Add to the mix a fine cast, notably Rosa Coduri as another strong character in the list of 'Strong women', and you have a satisfying and thrilling entry.
