The Boxer

Another Daniel Day-Lewis and Jim Sheridan flick, this one about a boxer released from prison who tries to go straight, but his IRA connections keep nagging at him. Day-Lewis wants to box and nothing more, standing as the voice of reason, a stoic equivalent of Michael DeLuise in "Encinco Man" yelling, "Shoosh!" to the IRA hotheads. In that sense he's like Cutty in season three of "The Wire." Not as good as "In the Name of the Father."
