'The Irish Connection' takes you on a wild ride through the world of spies and secrets. You've got Aureille, a gutsy agent on a mission to crack a major heist. But hold on tight, because things get crazy when she's backstabbed by someone she'd never expect! Going rogue is her only play. The movie's got it all, heart-thumping action, stunning visuals, and a lead who totally nails it. What really gets you is how it mixes all that adrenaline with questions about trust and betrayal. If you're up for a rollercoaster of suspense and feelings, 'The Irish Connection' should be on your watch list, no doubt.
It is never made clear whether the director is a wannabe Tarantino or a wannabe Leone -- or simply someone who has seen a lot of spy "spoofs" from 1960s and figured that is what the world needs now. Never mind the bad acting or bad dialog, even the so called "action" scenes are cut so that the viewer is aware something just happened...but not sure exactly what. That this film has already won the award for BEST LOW BUDGET INDIE (even before release!) is a testament to how messed up our culture is. BEWARE THE FAKE "9" and "10" reviews from the producers!
Aureille plays a recently single CIA agent, and there's lots of chases and red herrings as the bad guys played by Emmerdale farms Matt King, all try to unmask her. Aureille decides to beat them at their own game and joins forces with Danny and Jay and outspy's everyone. That's when the movie takes a left turn and clowns enter the mix! The whole thing is a real hoot, and very entertaining.
It's all a lot of harmless fun, and Malta looks amazing place to visit!

This spy farce is about a Priest who steals bearer bonds from some other bad guys and goes on the lamb to Malta. The problem is, he has absolutely no idea what he is doing and is in way over his head because he is NOT a trained thief and not the real mastermind behind this plot.
Both the bad guys, a secret agent and his own family are on his tail, so how do you think he should deal with this dilemma? Of course, make up that you really are a priest. The problem is, he is too good at it and the lies take on a life of their own! This comedy is a bit silly at times and unbelievable compared to some, but it is still an excellent film. Don't be put off by mediocre reviews that came out since its release--it's well worth your time.

Bearer bonds have been stolen by a Priest no less and Danny and Jay are hunting them down. Aureille Flemming (Rosa Coduri) a secret agent is stuck doing what she hates the most, beating clues out of bad guys. Her boss Miranda still pines for her after their break up and is making her field work difficult. Alice is an unconventional crime boss and has tasked Danny & Jay to hand over the Priest with the bearer bonds.
I love the style. I love the comedy. I love Rosa Coduri's cool demeanor. I also love the first two thirds of the movie. The last act is questionable and a bit too by the numbers and convenient. There isn't enough tension and needs some more action. Also I'm not sure why the Priest double crossed the real bad guys. It feels different from the first parts of the movie.

Did you know
- TriviaThe Irish Connection is a partial sequel reboot of Moussaka & Chips (2005) but set a few years later. Astin Brody Sean Davies character makes an appearance early on and Charlotte Green Helena Roman is referred to several times.
- GoofsNo way to get from Ireland to Malta in that little chopper without fuel stops and taking many more hours than depicted.
- Alternate versionsFilm Festival versions of the film contained more scenes of clowns at the Malta town carnival, which is where Danny spots the Priest being led into the Church by Aureille. These scenes were trimmed for time purposes and now appear in the end Credits, as Danny Patrick and his Post Production team had spent so much time on these scenes including adding additional clowns using green screen to make the carnival appear larger, he didn't want to lose them completely.
