Detetive Knight: Redenção

James Knight (Bruce Willis) is no longer a cop after the events of the first movie. He is in jail with Casey Rhodes (Beau Mirchoff) as they wait for their trial. A Christmas-themed bank robbery gang led by evil Santa Ricky Conlan (Paul Johansson) is hounding the city.

The first movie is almost passable. I really like Beau Mirchoff in that one. He is able to do the heavy lifting in place of Bruce. Bruce is not doing well. I am surprised to see that he did so many movies in his last year. I am shocked that he did a trilogy of these movies. This one struggles mightily as he becomes more the lead character again. He cannot lead anything at this point in his illness. For some reason, this one turns into a comic book story. They're trying to make evil Santa into a Joker-like figure. It's really bad.

I don't regret watching the movie but it was okay I can't give it all thumbs up but it was good acting I have seen better Bruce Willis movies in the past but I can't complain too much for a guy who is up in age dealing with health issues, I will say this much it's not one of them movies that I will watch more than one time I do consider myself a somewhat of a Bruce Willis fan he made great movies he is one hell of an actor but this movie could have been better in so many ways i honestly don't know where to I didn't understand a few things about the movie I'm trying not to say too much without spoiling it for someone else.

No pun intended - I am talking about this being the redemption ... of either Bruce Willis, his career or the character he took on in this trilogy (though it could have ended with this one ... it seems like it concludes ... the business). Now I assume that people are aware that Bruce Willis got diagnosed with an illness ... that made him do a lot of movies, because he knew his (on screen) time was limited ... and therefor he wouldn't be able to make more ... for his family primarily.

That all said, this is a bit better than the first one ... the action is well done ... and while I wouldn't say there is anything perfect (story or character wise), it at least looks good ... well mostly. But still if you are not someone like me who watches a lot of movies anyway ... I don't think there is a reason to watch this ... I wonder if anyone still watched this before the news got out (Willis) ... and how they rated it ... but I won't seek those out, I wasted enough time as it is.

I can only assume that before his announcement that he was retiring from the film industry, (Bruce) Willis must have worked overtime to churn out a lot of films before hanging up his guns etc. I didn't immediately notice the following (but it dropped everything into place with the styling of the films unfurling) that the script parts for Bruce were kept very limited -and short- which, would assist greatly in his ability to remember his lines etc; his debilitating sickness makes it hard for him in this subject matter.. As a prequel to the first film its a no go in that it is boringly tame and nothing of value to make it an unforgettable film.

If you saw part 1 then watch this part2 to complete your interest!

I have simply written a review because of the mindless idiots saying awful stuff about Bruce Willis who Cleary have no idea what they are on about.

If they were movie fans or indeed Bruce Willis fans Thet would know he is ill and this is why he is not in many scenes and looks confused disinterested or puzzled! It's because of his ongoing dementia.

Have a heart and do your research before being so horrible to a very talented actor who has simply tried the last few years but has now had to retire!

This guy gave us die hard twelve monkeys the fifth element and many more he is a legend and will be sorley missed in the movies!!
