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.

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

If you like bad movies you are in luck! That is shockingly bad. In fact, one of the worse movies I've ever seen!

As a novice Bruce Willis fan this movie feels like a college film project. Weak storyline, poor editing, very bad acting, terrible character development and very little Bruce Willis. The two young main characters are troubled EMT who seem to smoke a lot, don’t the young adults vape now? This is a product after the writers block and pandemic fog. I would definitely not pay to see this on any platform.

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

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