Detetive Knight: Vilão

It almost feels like some sort of abuse allowing this to happen and be pushed out. He's visibly not fully cognizant and only has about one line of dialogue, or partial line per scene. The movie despite being low budget or straight to video quality isnt even the issue. Bruce cannot or does not have any actual conversations outside of what feels like broken recorded and put together lines. He even looks aloof in the scenes shot, as if he wandered onto set while filming happened, they saw him and added his name to credits. Its sad. Movie/Story aren't awful but it feels broken to say the least, it hurts to see this happen. Especially onscreen.

Whoever gave the green light to make this film, should be ashamed. Bruce Willis clearly for the past few years, even before his condition was made public, no longer had the competency to act. Yet studios still sign him to make these cheap DTV films to capitalize on his fame and make a few dollars.

Detective Knight's plot was entirely incoherent and uninteresting with no help from the bland characters. It was difficult watching any scene with Willis, as he can only mutter a few words and nod when spoken to. Unfortunately, due to his illness, his personality and charisma are gone. As a consequence, his supporting cast have to frequently say lines most likely meant for his character or respond in ways that hardly come across as an authentic conversation.

I cannot give any reasons as to why anyone should watch this film, even if you are a die-hard Bruce fan. His name is just being exploited here. Go rewatch him in his old glory, and avoid this at all costs.

I can't understand how this movie passed any kind of selection or "inspection". I mean, the writing is beyond horrible. The dialogue is confused, empty and they look like filling the gaps by using the F word a lot. At this level of bad to average acting I think I prefer to watch a woke movie... Even Bruce Willis doesn't seem at the top of his performance here, he seems sleeping during the entire movie.

The Director worked with the crew of True Detective, the awesome True Detective series. Obviously he didn't learn anything.

2 Stars for the cinematography, the colors, the image. Looks like Hollywood was deserted by good actors, good writers. They still have good cinematographers at least.

L. A. police detective James Knight (Bruce Willis) and his partner track down four masked armed robbers and a gunfight ensues. His partner is heavily wounded and Knight vows to track down the perpetrators. The group is led by Casey Rhodes (Beau Mirchoff), a former star quarterback who lost everything in a point shaving scandal. They are backed by bookie gangster Winna (Michael Eklund) who has a corrupt past connection with Knight.

Bruce is a step slow and more robotic. It shows in the first shootout scene. He barely is able to get down. With his illness, I was surprised that he actually attempted an action scene. During the last act, they actually put a mask on his character so a stuntman could do his work. They tried very hard to cover for him. In fact, he's only the Lead in Name Only (LINO). The lead is really Beau Mirchoff. I like him and I like his character. He has depth. He's great. The situation with Bruce is obvious and distracting.

I used to be a big fan of Bruce Willis, but most of the movies outside the Die Hard franchise except for the fifth element and the red series, were not particularly interesting. This movie is probably one of the worst. I lasted through about twenty minutes then boredom won out. It starts out strong with a thwarted armored car heist, but goes downhill from there. I will not comment on Bruce Willis acting in this as I know he is ill. I do wish him well. The other actors are wooden and lack any nuance to their performance. The script is very week. The movie totally fails to draw in the viewer, I was being overly generous when I gave it a 2.
