These two clans have been at war for over 30 years. And the way they solve their differences is to taunt each other into bare knuckle fighting bouts, mostly down somewhere in the countryside in secret. It took Palmer over 9 years to truly get to the bottom of the feud that has pitted these families against each other for over 30 years. James Quinn seems to be a patient and reluctant fighter. He tries often to get out of the fighting, but money and family pride continually seem to draw him back in for one last fight. And then you have his cousins, the Joyces, who just can’t seem to keep their mouths shut at any given time.
Throughout the 92 minute film, we are shown archival footage of grown men fighting away their difference. At one time, two of the patriarchs of the family “duke it out”, and director Palmer likens it to watching two grandfathers in a fist fight”. Which was actually quite a sad thing to observe. At the end of the film, the clans are at peace…but you can’t help but wonder which hotheaded idiot will start the whole thing all over? An amazing look at humans at their most vunerable but tough, “Knuckle” is one documentary not to be missed.
