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.

I knew this movie was going to suck but I wanted to see it anyways since it was Bruce's last movie. The cheap, ketchup like blood squibs, the obvious earpiece, the terrible supporting actors, and on and on and on. You hear stories of Willis being horrible to work with, terrible to costars, disrespectful to directors yet he still had a great career. Moonlighting, Die Hard, Pulp Fiction, and my personal favorite, the chronically underrated The Last Boy Scout. Shame on his family members and so called friends for exploiting him in garbage like this for their own greed. They are pathetic human beings.

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.

In all of the Bruce Willis films I have watched, this is the worst. From the absolutely horrible acting to crappy visual effects and horrible story line. The director needs to stop. Stop doing any movies whatsoever. I am appalled that this even got made. I have wasted over an hour of my life I'll never get back. This movie is an example of what not to do when directing one. Seen this while scrolling through this list of moves and unfortunately decided on this one. This movie could be been so much better than it was. I am disgusted at this atrocity. I would suggest scrolling through to the end where the kid got shot. That is the only enjoyable moment.

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???

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.
