Strength and Honour (2007)

Wow! Such a good movie.

Nice effects though.

Crappy film

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

See Vinnie Jones using the worst and most unlikely Irish accent ever committed to screen. Also see a highly predictable plot and stereotyped list of totally unbelievable characters - dumbed-down for Americans? - romp through a film you'll pray ends quickly. And what's with the American cars parked at the Gypsy site? Is it supposed to be Ireland or the USA? Vinnie Jones as a bare-knuckle boxer? Gimmie a break. It's as if he's trying to reprise Brad Pitt's role in Snatch, but giving it the Vinnie treatment IE. "I can't act but I'm famous enough to can get your film made."

If you have not seen Strength and Honor, you are missing a great movie. You do not have to enjoy boxing or action movies to enjoy this one. There is something for everyone... it is a must see! If you aren't used to them, the accents can take a little while into the movie to get used to. However, once you understand them, you get a better feel for the characters and pick up the common words thrown around throughout the movie and what they mean.There is a lot of drama, suspense and action in this movie. If you do no have a tear or two after viewing, it would be a shock to me. EXCELLENT movie, that's all I have to say.

I tried so hard to take the movie seriously, but being from the City where it was filmed, it just seems they took the complete mickey out of the city/culture etc... and every time I was nearly taking it seriously again something else "local" happened that we couldn't stop laughing at! I will agree it was a good attempt, but way too cliché-ed! The accents were awful and bore no resemblance to authentic Cork accents. As previously commented on, I'm sure it will be a hit in the States, but for anyone in the know, it will be a cringeful experience. I just feel that they put the scenes together and no one "proof-watched" it. All in all it tells of a true Irish tradition, but overly and badly dramatist.

This film is rubbish. Lazy, join the dots 'storytelling'. It purports to be about Ireland but unless you believe that Darby O'Gill lives with the little people there is no credibility whatsoever; could have been made 50 years ago and even then would have been crap.There is no attempt to address Ireland in the noughties, the Celtic Tiger, the boom, the me culture, immigration or whatever. Just another Oirish pastiche for some gullible Americans - who must be sick of this rubbish as well.How this film got made mystifies me but perhaps therein lies a more interesting story.I'm from Cork so no 'anti Cork' bias stuff please..This movie is the worst tripe I've seen in years and makes me embarrassed to be Irish and a Corkonian.Avoid, avoid, avoid.
