Storyline
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.

Featured review
Terrible, no character development, boring and stupid
I think this must be absolute conclusive proof that Bruce Willis doesn't really care anymore about the quality of the work, he just wants his retirement fund topping up.
Cinematography makes it look like a bad TV show shot on VHS, even crosses the line in several scenes. Split scene isn't integrated well which makes it just jarring and removes you from the picture.
What was instantly irritating when the title sequence runs, is the fact that the "Writers/Director" credit themselves as not only "STORY BY", but then also then "BASED ON CHARACTERS BY". One credit too many which is egotistical, unnecessary and makes me want to blacklist your work. The "Director the credits himself as screenplay by and directed by on separate cards. Why?
Story wise I can't imagine any cop in any country beating up an "EMT" or Ambulance paramedic in a bar for absolutely no reason. It's just ludicrous. This is the failed basis for the whole premise of this stupid, badly made, amateur class embarrassing excuse of a movie.
Awful acting, horrendously bad script, and TV cinematography, brought together by no character development, nothing intelligent in the direction at all. How these directors get to make films indicates a significant flaw and understanding of what film was meant to be.
Avoid at all costs. Don't waste your money.
