Our DTV Throwback this week is a homage to the late Michael Madsen. in STRENGTH AND HONOUR he plays an ex-boxer who gets back in the game to try and raise money for his son's life-saving operation. Madsen is playing an Irish character but however good or bad his accent is, it's completely overshadowed by the performance of Vinnie Jones! You can find a copy of the film on YouTube.
