What shall I say. The first half hour what a nonsense and what a bad actors. What does this director actually want to make ? Only bad films? Who are these actors then? No I don't feel like watching any of his movies and Willis and all those other bad actors. After twenty minutes it was the end dor me and now they want me to write 266 charcters more? Would I ever pay money to watch this in a theater, the answer is no. Would I purchase or download this movie on a streaming service, again, the answer is no so what am I doing? Clearly, 'Detective Knight' doesn't make it to the top of the list of larger-than-life action adventure thrillers. Rather, Ed takes it slow and manages to give his veteran star Bruce Willis and his famed trilogy a befitting farewell.
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.

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.

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.
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.
Did you know
- TriviaDetective Knight: Independence serves as the last film in the Detective Knight trilogy, as well as the last movie Bruce Willis worked on before retiring from acting, due to his diagnosis with aphasia and dementia in 2022. The film was shot in November 2021, four months before Willis' retirement.
- GoofsWhen Detective Knight jumps into the ambulance and struggles with Dezi for the gun, the camera mostly focuses on close-ups of Bruce Willis face. However, in the shot at circa 88 minutes when the gun is fired during struggle, Bruce Willis is quite obviously replaced by a stunt double who looks almost nothing like Willis. The stunt double is much younger, has different facial features, different skin complexion and thicker eyebrows, and is completely bald, whereas Willis has pattern baldness with a bit of hair remaining on the sides of head.
