I agree with the critics this was a hidden gem!! The kid in this film was quite resourceful and cunning!! Great twists and pretty good gore!!! This film is worthy of attention I'd recommend this movie.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Solid. Not perfect. But a couple of good twists. The Home Alone references are oblivious but this is set in a more realistic world. Where you can beleive it might happen. Absolutely no child like comedy here. Good dramatic horror, with a multiple twists. Some you don't realize until you think back. Leaves plenty of unanswered questions that spark conversation when it is all done.

Bloody Disgusting

Knuckeball is a well-executed thriller unafraid to embrace is violent darkness or put its child lead in peril. Brutal, bloody, and full of surprises, this one is a flawed but entertaining ride.

Rated: 3.5/5

Ironside... excellently exudes an old-man smell and no-nonsense-allowed temperament.

Rated: 3/4

Variety

While you're watching, helmer Michael Peterson effectively earns suspension of disbelief with stark atmospherics, solid performances and a persuasive escalation of panic.

A story of secrets and cruelty carefully crafted to accentuate the thrills and not the plot holes.
