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???

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
