Review of The Boxer (1997) by Marcus G — 23 Jan 2008
Great film starring Daniel Day Lewis as recently released prisoner who helped the IRA and is now trying to get his life back together. It's not as good as the earlier Lewis and Jim Sheridan films, but it's still very good.
It gets better as it goes along. Emily Watson is good as his former girlfriend and Brian Cox also has a nice supporting role in the film. The boxing scenes are also very well done, particularly the final one.
Oh, and my man Terry George did a nice job with the script.
