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.

This starts with a harrowing bank robbery. Detective James Knight (Bruce Willis) and Fitzgerald (Lochlyn Munro) arrive to help take them down. EMTs Dezi (Jack Kilmer) and Ally (Willow Shields) come to treat the wounded. Dezi tries to treat one of the dying robbers, but Fitzgerald redirects them to treat the bank manager. Dezi slowly spirals downward and joins the dark side.

I really like the opening, but it starts going downhill as soon as the EMTs show up. They are not good actors and they are acting more like junkies. Something is off. Maybe Dezi needs to go full loner mode. He needs to be alone for the whole movie. Of course, everybody wants to know about Bruce. He's not the lead in this last movie of the trilogy. He's fine although he's not asked to do that much. This is still not a good movie.

Watched all 3 movies and that's time we won't ever get back. Poorly written, lack of substance and very bad editing!

Willis in all 3 movies had about two pages worth of dialogue which is no doubt due to his illness. The whole trilogy could have done without its main character as really he had no real impact on anything that happened. I will be avoiding Drakes future work if this is the standard he delivers.

The speech syncing leaves a lot to be desired and if I were a film studio I wouldn't he hiring these sound guys again.

It's a shame that Willis is ending a career with these three movies as some of his last.

I mean i honestly dont know where to start

That its one of the worst if not the worst acting of bruce willis in hies career ?

That is has the worst cgi effects ive seen in years ?

That in some audio not synced or they later recorded other audio in it or whatever they did ?

I mean some guns dont even make sound when they fire...

Or in the story that makes 0 since and the absurdity of it ?

I mean its almost as if they made a movie as a parody for action movies but then took it seriusly

i dont like to give movies 1/10 but i mean... this is a 1/10.

How bruce willis has fallen... hopefully he can raise back up in hies next project.

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.
