Knuckleball (2018)
Knuckleball? More like blueballs
This could have, should have been a 10! It had all the potential but struck out using too much 'why' and not enough 'how'. Up until the last 15 minutes it's was fulfilling, I was anxious and stressed for this kid! But I was excited for the climax and much anticipated, bloody backstory for some answers!
It had so many ideas that pretty much all went untouched in the end... so many routes.. so many possibilities... I had my hopes set on a particular storyline/direction for the finale, but as it got closer to the end of the film and more apparent that what I wanted to see wasn't gonna happen? I was hoping for just any ending that was pulled together in time. But... it never does. This film has about 25 potential alternate endings without ever actually ending with any decency. Although it showed promise, had great acting, and decent effects... it never finishes. Got me all worked up and left me hangin! I could've given Knuckleball a better rating if I wasn't still so butthurt from the climactic letdown...
