Detetive Knight: Independência

You can't blame him for constantly being cast by a lousy filmmaker, a paycheck is a paycheck. This is the third, and thankfully, final entry of writer and director Edward Drake's Detective Knight trilogy of films. Of the three films, this one actually had the best story premise, but sadly, was the worst directed of them all, and the screenplay was riddled with plot holes, cringeworthy dialogue, and unrealistic nonsense sub-narratives. I'm baffled how any filmmaker can get worse with the more films they make, instead of better.

This had the usual amateur-hour Drake trademarks of blurry scenes, poorly executed color contrast effects, fade in and outs, as well as shaky cam footage. To make matters worse, Drake added annoying split-screen shots - like a five year old discovering gravity, as well at attaching GoPros to props, all of which were failed attempts at any improved filmmaking. Even at a normally comfortable 91 min runtime, this film felt never-ending, even with the fairly decent pacing, due to long dragged out and unnecessary scenes, mostly rubbish with cringeworthy dialogue. There was no coherent or cohesive fluidity to the scenes, and they seemed to clumsily appear in and out between random narratives. I sure hope Willis has fulfilled any contractual obligations to be in any more Drake dreck dumpster productions, he deserves much better.

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.

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.

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.
