Good movie for chilling, but not that good. Bruce Willis lost his touch and look the same in avery recent movie. Cynical, apathetic and a but lazy. Like a tree in the middle of the street.

The movie is about a group of big-time bank robbers. Bruce Willis happens to be in a supporting role as a police detective. I think this movie is more of a mediocre B-movie playing multiple times a month on basic cable television. Not completely bad. But not great either.

The second of the "Detective Knight" trilogy is mind bogglingly bad, but it brought back a lot of memories about bad 80s action movies. Bruce Willis is barely in the film as this was his third from last appearance ever on screen. It's clear he is suffering from severe cognitive decline. He is hardly on screen and he looks confused most of the time. There is no pop. While I've heard the third film is the best, and it will be one of the last chances to see him on screen, I am not sure I can watch another. THIS IS NOT BRUCE WILLIS. It may be his body, but it's not him. I have no idea his financial situation, but reportedly he made one million per day for two days on set for this film. There is no way he knows what he is doing. Who was putting him out there. The story isn't atrocious, and the D list actors give it a firm effort, however this is a rough watch for anyone who gives a darn about Willis. Final Score: 3.7/10

Detective Knight: Redemption is a good follow-up to the first entry but it's good as a standalone film as well.

This second in the trilogy is more violent than the first, and they they all seem to get progressively better.

Rated: 8/10

Leaving aside all the shooting, bombing and fighting, Detective Knight: Redemption is a story about channelizing your rage and put it to good use. About characters from both sides of the spectrum pushed over the limit but still not backing up an inch.

Rated: 7/10

A suitably entertaining crime caper, as long as you know what to expect going in.

Again, Willis is the action hero in Detective Knight: Redemption, which should be reason enough for his fans to see it.
