Summary

I didn't know much about "The Troubles" in Ireland going into this movie and, to be honest, I don't feel like I know any more coming out of it. History lessons aside, The Boxer includes some excellent performances from the entire cast in a movie that is more of a meditation on borrowed resentment than a traditional boxing story.
