Strength And Honour
A man who has turned his back on violence must reclaim his skills as a fighter for the sake of his family in this sentimental drama. Sean Kelleher (Michael Madsen) is an amateur boxer who goes too far while sparring with his brother and accidentally kills him; horrified by his actions, Sean pledges to never enter the ring again and pursues a career as a car salesman. After a rare cardiac ailment takes the life of his wife, Sean learns that his young son Mikey (Luke Whelton) has contacted the same disease, and that his only hope for survival lies in experimental surgery that can be performed by one doctor in the United States. The cost of the operation would be $250,000, money Sean doesn't have, but he learns of an annual underground bare-knuckles boxing tournament held each year by a band of gypsies called the Travellers. The purse for the winner would cover the price of the surgery, and Sean signs on to compete. A neighbourhood priest who once coached boxing (Richard Chamberlain) helps Sean train for the contest, and he's embraced by a family of Travellers led by Papa Boss (Patrick Bergin), but the odds don't look good for Sean when he learns that he'll have to fight Smasher (Vinnie Jones), a hard-as-nails boxer who won the Travellers' contest in the previous year and has already killed two men in the ring. STRENGTH AND HONOUR was the first feature film from writer and director Mark Mahon.

For the most part the film moves along at a nice clip and provides an interesting glimpse inside the endlessly fascinating world of the Travellers

It's Not Going to Make History, But
It is so good to see Michael Madsen in a lead role. Yes, the irish accents are a bit over the top, but I found that the film worked very well portraying the ... read more »

Terrible film!
Absolutely awful film, Vinnie Jones is useless in this and the fight choreography is about as good as Vinnies Irish accent.
Avoid! - 930472
