Knockdown is a tedious narrative shambles that's almost hilariously unaware of its racism and sexism. Go to Full Review Jack Fleischer Battleship Pretension 03/24/2021
True low budget filmmaking. Much like folk art, its charm far outweighs its skill, but there are worse ways to spend an hour and a half. Go to Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com 06/07/2012

12/31/2012 Good idea. Horrible execution. Good backstory. Wack pacing. See more 09/24/2012 I was pleased to see the end credits! See more 06/17/2012 I was pleased to see the end credits! See more 04/01/2012 Knockdown is a straight-arrow, character-driven, dialogue-drenched drama -- and not a terribly effective one at that. And the conclusion offers a gimmicky and completely arbitrary twist that indicates that Bellanca really had no clue how to satisfactorily end this story. See more 12/23/2011 Considering the fact that this is a very low budget movie, it is surprisingly good. Story is engaging and despite the fact that its pace is very slow, chances are that you'll want to see where it will lead. See more Read all reviews
