deadly!

Rating: Null/10 (9 February 2001)

This is one of the all time great music/Irish films. Alan Parker directs all these musicians brilliantly, and that's what they are.... musicians who act and not the other way around! That's what makes The Commitments so genuine. Andrew Strong has an excellent voice and the rest of the band, Joey the Lips etc., give some great one liners, for example, Joey "Sure we could have made albums and toured and all that other stuff, but this way it's poetry".
I hear they are making a sequel soon, which I am looking forward to. Check out the original as I doubt that this can be topped. Excellent viewing.
