Detective Knight: Independence

For an actor that announced his retirement (for health reasons) Bruce Willis was in eleven movies released in 2022. Face it. Over the years we've all enjoyed watching Bruce chew up the scenery. Unfortunately not all of the releases for the year were stellar performances. This one being the 3rd, and final installment of the Detective Knight trilogy.was not what I would call the highlight of the three. Starting from the chase scene coming out of the bank, this movie became a giant turd. The dialogue was voiced off camera from the 1:09 mark almost to the very end. What was voiced on camera was out of sync. I can't help but think that they rushed the release for some reason. Surely they could have cleaned it up in post if they had taken more time.

It's sad to think they rushed the release just for the money. I had enjoyed the first two in the series, but this one was ruined by the bad sound editing in the latter third of the film.

Jack Kilmer gave a sparkling performance. His father would have been proud. I think he has a long career ahead of him, and I'll be looking forward to seeing more of his work. The rest of the cast carried their parts believably, which is why the ending was such a disappointment.

I love ya Bruce, so I'm hoping when Assassin is released later this year, that it'll be something we all want to remember you by. Regardless, thanks for the decades of enjoyable performances.

Second to last of the films of Bruce Willis. This one has a good idea to it. A paramedic who wants to be a cop so he goes on a a vigilante style murder spree. However the film is not done well with Bruce Willis's double being far too obvious. Even the voice dubbing is really off. Plus you can tell Bruce is not even in the same room as his co stars. The whole film is really weak and pretty dumb but I have seen far worse in the Bruce Willis filmography. Its not as bad as Cosmic sin or Fortress: Snipers Eye. But this aint no Die Hard either. The second film in this Detective Knight series was easily the best.

This has it all. Lots of blood, bad characters, poorly played, poorly filmed.

That kid makes it all the way to be a proficient EMT, but somehow gets influenced to bad judgement calls at the scene of a shooting, ignoring his own ethical duty, but also hurting a victim in order to "save" him.

When confronted for his acts, his unethical behavior is not even brought up, but the fact that the patient is suing the city finally gets him fired and makes him snap. No union rep, no chance to defend himself, but somehow he keeps his badge and his gun.

The rest is horrific and completely predictable.

If you're watching this movie because Bruce Willis is in it, you have to be sorry for your time, and his fall. WTF???

Holy crap. Bruce, why did you allow yourself to go out on such a ridiculously low note?

The story was non-existent, the acting was abysmal, from EVERYBODY, Bruce included; I just finished it, and I really don't know what they were trying to say/do here.

I liked the first two installments of the trilogy. Didn't love them, but they were pretty solid low-end B movies.

This thing was slapped together because someone told someone it had to be a trilogy to sell. That's my only explanation for this crap fest I just watched.

Bruce has to pull his s**t together for one last movie, if only to erase the stain that this is going to leave on the end of his career. He's too good an actor to let this steaming pile of "WTF" be his career capper.

Please, don't waste your time watching this. It really was so bad that 1 star is about 3/4 a star too much.

Although it's part of the Bruce Willis detective movie series, you can tell that this one had a much smaller production budget. Starting with Die Hard 1, which had a budget of $28 million, it received great reviews and grossed over $80 million in the U. S. Then came Die Hard 2, with a budget of $70 million, and it also received excellent reviews, grossing over $110 million in the U. S. Die Hard 3 had a production budget of $90 million, and it set new records by grossing over $360 million in the U. S. So, after watching this film, you can really see that it didn't do well for a reason. I'd recommend checking it out on a streaming platform.
