Detective Knight: Rogue (2022)

I though the more you do something, the better you get at doing it.

[3/10 · 24 October 2022]

This is clearly not the case with yet another time-wasting Willis flop by writer and director Edward Drake. I feel bad for Bruce, because aside his illness, Drake's failure to direct his cast properly makes Willis look worse than he is. Even Jimmy Jean-Louis was poorly cast and was unconvincing as a cop, let alone hard to understand his dialogue. To make matters worse, there are two more sequels coming up soon. Who and why are funding these failed film attempts? This one has Drake's typical cliched, convoluted and plot-hole riddled screenplay, with annoying back and forth scene changes and ridiculous dialogue. The entire story is nonsense and unrealistic, and I'm still not sure the relationship and conflict between Willis' character and Michael Eklund's character. The 105 min runtime felt dragged out with lots of unnecessary filler amidst all the plot holes, and the slow pacing didn't help. It's just an underwhelming mess overall, with the only redeeming factor being the half-decent score, especially for a B-film. I certainly wont be watching the next two sequels, or anything else Drake comes up with, because not one of his films has rated better than a 3/10, of which is what I'm generously giving this flop.
