Sin City star
Michael Madsen is in talks to star in
Strength and Honor, an indie boxing movie written and directed by
Mark Mahon. Veteran
Richard Chamberlain and
Snatch star
Vinnie Jones have already been cast by Mahon in what is to be his first feature film. Here are some plot details from
Cinematical..
"Strength and Honor...will be set in the Irish county of Cork and focus on a boxer who must return to the sport, after promising his dying wife he would retire, so that he can help raise money to save his young son from the disease that claimed the life of his wife". I've only ever seen one boxing match in my whole life and that was
Lennox Lewis who squashed
Mike Tyson back in 2002. However i've seen a lot of boxing movies, and enjoyed a good few (certainly not all). I really enjoyed
Cinderella Man last year and I thought that movie was really hard done too at the oscars. A far better movie than the extremly mediocre
