    With Knuckle, Palmer offers a thorough -- and extraordinarily compelling -- portrait of the Travellers.

    Chock full of larger-than-life characters, it's an enthralling insight into a raw, bloodied world.

    Knuckle is the real deal, with the strapping, brutally human Traveller clans butting heads with not only one another but with the very future of their subculture's existence.

    While it's frustrating that Mr. Palmer doesn't dig deep into the complexities of the fights, one of the movie's strengths is the honesty with which he confesses his doubts about them.
