Entertaining, but forgetful
26 August 2022
I watched "The Irish Connection" (cool title) not long after watching its predecessor "Mousakka & Chips" but was similarly underwhelmed. Yet again, just about the only reason for watching it is Rosa Coduri's cool persona in the title role. Nicola Wren hamming it up as Aureille's boss and of course the woke fad of Whatever men can do, women can do it better.

The stunts are nothing special, but are counterbalanced by the humour.

I just don't think this was the best way to rip-off, sorry, take inspiration from the successful James Bond series, the over the top approach hardly helping the movie appeal. Wren gets one great accidentally prescient line "All those flash moves are better on a Chorus line" and otherwise Coduri strolls through the film in cool clothes.

At the end of the titles it states Danny & Jay will return and maybe they must and I will watch that too.
