Shout Factory has officially announced and detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Jim Sheridan's film
The Boxer (1997), starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Emily Watson, Brian Cox, Kenneth Cranham, and Ken Stott. The release will be available for purchase on April 30.
Synopsis: Three-time Academy Award® winner Daniel Day-Lewis (There Will Be Blood, My Left Foot, Lincoln) and two-time Academy Award nominee Emily Watson (Breaking The Waves) are star-crossed lovers torn between unquestioning loyalty to the ties of tradition and the passion they share in this critically acclaimed film from director Jim Sheridan (The Field, In America). Freed from jail 14 years after getting involved with the Irish Republican Army, Danny Flynn (Day-Lewis) returns home to his Belfast neighborhood, where he opens a gym and reconnects with his lost love, Maggie (Watson). But Danny's former life — in the person of his former IRA compatriots — comes back to haunt him.
