Watch: The Boxer 1997 123movies, Full Movie Online – Nineteen-year-old Danny Flynn is imprisoned for his involvement with the I.R.A. in Belfast. He leaves behind his family and his sixteen-year-old girlfriend, Maggie Hamill. Fourteen years later, Danny is released from prison and returns to his old working class neighborhood to resume his life as a boxer, fighting and opening a boxing club training aspiring boxers. Maggie has since married Danny’s best friend, who is also imprisoned for his I.R.A. activities. Although he has not denounced the I.R.A. or denigrated his I.R.A. colleagues, Danny has decided to live a life free of political violence. His boxing club is nonsectarian, open to both Catholics and Protestants. This move irks some of his old I.R.A. colleagues since they feel working with the Protestants will not resolve their David versus Goliath struggle. Danny’s old I.R.A. colleagues, especially their unofficial leader Harry, resort to traditional tactics of violence to stop Danny. Maggie’s father, Joe, also an I.R.A. activist, does not condone the violence against Danny as he is working through peaceful means to free I.R.A. prisoners (including Maggie’s husband), but also does not want Maggie to resume her past relationship with Danny, a man who he sees as having no future. Amidst this turmoil, Danny and Maggie dream of a life together, also taking into account Maggie’s wedded status and the feelings of her teen-aged son, Liam. [Originally by: Huggo].

Could Have Been A Lot Worse
The only real problem Jim Sheridan has with THE BOXER is that he seems to be unable to inject much kinetic energy into the proceedings unlike IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER . Mind I`m not sure if that should be classed as criticism since ITNOTF played hard and loose with facts and was overly sensational , and do I have to remind anyone of the controversy with Sheridan`s previous movie effort with Terry George in SOME MOTHER`S SON ? So I guess THE BOXER could have been yet another movie where Britain gets the blame for Ireland`s troubles .

This is what I liked best about THE BOXER . the IRA terrorists seen here aren`t written as the brave and noble freedom fighters of so many Hollywood scripts , here they`re shown to be the worst type of gangster – People who feed on their own community . Yeah most of them want peace but that`s down to pragmatic reasons not down to any deeper morality . Anyone wanting to see a more objective drama centering around the secterian divide in Northern Ireland should watch this film . It`s not a film to watch over and over again but at least it`s a mature thoughtful drama on Ulster . It`s also well acted by the cast especially Ken Stott
