3.5/5

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.

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

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.

The film uses the darkness in people and creates something chilling, using the capacities of its cast to their best.

A very welcome entry into the "home invasion" subgenre.

I thought it was really good! Definitely more adult version of Home Alone. Besides the parents, the rest of the actors were really good. I totally recommend this hidden gem.

This movie had potential but they dropped the ball. Don’t waste your time.

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.

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.

This movie was surprisingly good. It started out a little slow but ended in a bang!
