In 1962, Hollywood introduced British spy James Bond who made an iconic name in the action genre, and the legacy of this household action hero continues today through the longest running film franchise In the 1980s, we were introduced to Bruce Willis' John McClane, a New York cop who served justice as he took a dozen of German terrorists at the Nakatomi Plaza one by one, and his astonishing charisma has lead to a spawn of a few sequels. Rosa Coduri as Aureille Flemming (Get it) is what some describe as just a modern day Jane Bond. But with a powerful portrayal by Rosa, she feels more like an original character, a spy agent with a highly trained set of fighting skills in both gun and hand-to- hand combat. In this spy action thriller, Rosa Coduri steps into what is arguably her most charismatic role plays the title character, a secret agent. Not very many action flicks offer a spectacular mix of tense action and fun like this. From the hyper-kinetic action sequences, to it's slick editing, to the highly compelling plot, to the overall likability of the lead character; this film stops at almost nothing to deliver the strong, visceral experience viewers come to root for. In an age where many films of the action genre struggle to find a solid balance of both action and coherent plot development, this one manages to stand out. The plot moves through the title character's search for bearer bonds (get the Die Hard reference) and the conspiracy that surrounds, and what ensues is a nice array of tension and unpredictable scenes. The fiercest moments show Aureille Flemming engaging in brutal martial arts combat against the baddies, complete with stunning choreography and camera-work that, while a bit shaky, successfully express the intensity of the scenes. The Irish Connection like its name sake the French Connection is tense, fun and purely entertaining experience for action fans everywhere. This film is easily a household name in Rosa Coduri's career as well as the action genre of the 2000s. For all looking for a great popcorn flick, this one is worth checking out.

Rosa Coduri found elusive stardom and top billing with Adulthood as Poppy, in this Irish Connection She becomes the Female version of James Bond and has to reluctantly save the world or at least some Bearer Bonds (die hard anyone). She only gets her heart into the assignment after she's rumbled by the Baker Clan and they try to kill her. Up to that point she's been happily playing along with her almost a date, date. The Priest she's hunting down is related to Danny & Jay and so she uses them to track him down. The only problem is she likes pleasures unregulated, no one will tell her when and how much. Aureille is a female James Bond, unlike Bond who leaves his indulgences when duty calls, Aureille has to be coaxed. Miranda (nicola wren) dislikes the coaxing and overacts outrageously with tongue firmly in cheek as Aurielle Flemming's harassed superior. Coduri too shows a wry sense of humor in her portrayal. In fact joining in the furniture chewing is Flora Spencer Longhurst as Alice Baker, the head bad guy/gal who just doesn't like sharing her bearer bonds. Not as stylish as the James Bond series, but still lots of fun.

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.

A Priest steals bearer bonds from Alice Baker and her gang and goes on run to Malta pursued by them and a cocky super-agent Aureille (a wonderful engaging Rosa Coduri) is assigned to stop them all. In the spy-saturated genres, this comedy addition to the genre would seem an unlikely stand-out, and yet it is very well made. Perhaps its cool style, tongue-in-cheek sense of intrigue, and mix of adventure and satire makes it more interesting than it has any right to. Satirizing a genre already so steeped in self-reverence, the all too familiar ending feels too obvious. Coduri is focused and wiry, but I always liked her more as a wannabe villain like in Adulthood; she's so ironed-out here of any kind of personal complication that the first few scenes give you all she's got. Dave Healy, as chief thug, has a few funny moments as a man intimidated by his pregnant wife, but otherwise a well made funny 90 minutes..

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.

OK, in retrospective, we should all know that espionage movies are all about cool dudes battling evil, and attracting hot partners in the process (though the latter often overshadowed the former, as Austin Powers showed). "The Irish Connection" is no exception. I will say that Agent Aureille (Rosa Conduri) isn't exactly Jason Bourne, but she has her merits. The movie mostly seems like an excuse to experience that ultra-cool feeling that always emanated from the spy movies of the '60s, and they achieve that. So, even if it isn't Bourne, it's still very enjoyable. Also starring Matt Healy...and a bunch of clowns. The four most important spies are James Bond, Jason Bourne, Harry Tasker and Natasha Romanov.

I enjoyed this. It had been one of those movies I had heard about from the festivals but had never gotten around to. There are times when it seems that Rosa Coduri is such a cold fish (ala Adulthood), that one has trouble getting connected to her. In this film she is really believable as a woman who has all the training of a killing machine, but a soft side that bears exploring. The character is put into situations she can't understand but can only react to. She has compassion but little understanding. What an interesting role. If there's a shortcoming, it's that the motivations of the bad folks aren't all that clear. It's still a delight to watch her relationship with Jay develop. There is a level of subtlety that most films of this type don't have. The car chases are not spectacular but, for once, funny and with pathos. I appreciated this.

British agent Aureille is sent to investigate the robbery of Bearer Bonds, the agent goes Rogue in Malta. From opening scenes which starts off feeling like its going to be a date shows strong female character and wonderfully played by Rosa Coduri. The Agent is on the run from her own boss Miranda who is still keen on dating her. A great night in and worthy watch.

Aureille Fleming (Rosa Coduri) is a special agent after some stolen bonds. The film includes a cast of characters and some clowns. The plot was simple enough. They went out of their way to create clever dialogue for scenes. The car with the plate number IZA 007 coupled with "Fleming" being a surname was genius and makes for some of the puns in the movie. It was very entertaining. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
