A complete mess that barely includes Bruce Willis. This is so laughably thrown together it's hard to figure what is going on. We're all just here for the sadness that is Willis, a shell of his former self. It isn't worth the time. Final Score: 0/10

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

There was a plot? Poor delivery, can overlook the bad CGI if there was something of substance here; but there is none.

Not good at all. Ambulance chase scene steam going straight up while at high speed. Seen better line delivery from a mime artist

This is the worst Willis movie I've ever seen. Watched it because I like Willis and the Rotten ratings looked quite ok, but in this case IMDB's 3.4/10 is much closer. It's super boring, so many lengthy parts, half the time you wonder when something relevant will finally happen, especially in the first third, Willi's has not more than something like a side role and there's nothing like character building or an entertaining plot. Not even a little. It's overall pretty unrealistic, many things happen without being shown and the things being shown are boring or seen a thousand times. And to top it all, some super shitty effects at the end make you wonder what kind of incompetent producer did approve all this? They added smoke coming from a shot ambulance engine in the post production in two scenes that don't follow up, between them the engine is not smoking and the worst thing is that the ambulance car is driving very fast in these scenes and the smoke goes slowly right in the sky instead of being blown to the sides and up the windshield. No aerodynamics in the world the movie takes place in.

Common Sense Media

The final chapter of the Detective Knight trilogy, this action/thriller has almost nothing to do with the previous two entries, and, despite some ambitious ideas, it's listless and cursory.

Rated: 2/5

Film Frenzy

The Detective Knight series should have ended at two movies. Instead, there’s a third movie, and it’s largely a nonstarter.

Rated: 2/4

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.

Drake and his team are simply trying to survive the filmmaking process, not establish a riveting examination of bruised honor and rising crime.

Rated: D+

Film Threat

A must-see for fans of Bruce Willis. Those who are into the action genre as well should check it out because of the added character depth and cast.

Rated: 8/10

In the trilogy resolution, Detective Knight: Independence, the film lies on Willis' shoulders as his storyline becomes crucial to the main story in this one. This is now his territory and he’s not afraid to show it.

Rated: 2.8/5
