A matter of taste maybe given the low ratings, but I've seen the first 2 of the 3 Detective Knight movies, and don't think they're nearly as bad as Bruce has put his name to in recent years. Police films of very average level, which certainly, but if you want to take into account that the budget will not have been that high (there are no really spectacular action scenes) and really good actors for this kind of project are difficult to charter, it is best to do. In Redemption, for example, the unknown Johansson plays a nicely exaggerated villain role and the makers, just like before with Rogue, have been so smart to also give the secondary characters a lot of screen time. As a result, Knight/Willis actually becomes a supporting actor in his own films, but given the knowledge that Bruce can no longer carry a film on his own, a good, responsible choice. Not a film to see a second time later, but within its own limitations no punishment to watch once. And of course we give Bruce his own trilogy wholeheartedly, don't we?

Sequel to Detective Knight: Rogue finds James Knight [Bruce Willis] behind bars as a masked gang pull off a series of robberies in the run-up to Christmas in which gang leader Mercer [Corey Large] preaches about the horrors of capitalism. The former soldier and former Prison Chaplain even manages to take over the prison and free all the inmates so they can join him. The only one left behind is James Knight. Partly for that reason, he is the man to roll up Mercer and his gang. Drake and Large wrote the screenplay, which is not without merit, but Large misses the mark with his grotesque playing and the socially critical message loses its power. It doesn't help that Willis again makes a completely disinterested impression. Continued: Detective Knight: Independence.

Merry Christmas, MTF!
Halloween is behind us, the Christmas spirit is in the air. And so this film opens immediately with the necessary ho-ho-hos: hold-ups, horror, and holy shit. Bruce Willis and Christmas, where have we seen that before? 
Our two protagonists from the previous film are in safe custody after their antics. But not for long. For they are given release as a gift by the psycho supreme Santa (the Christmas Bomber with mostly just a little too much bombast). Detective Knight does not escape with them, but is offered the opportunity to go after the Santa gang in exchange for the pardon of his crimes.
The film certainly has more to offer than its predecessor, which consequently feels a bit more like a long introduction. The partner, who was nearly fatally wounded in the first film, has a bit more of a role in this second film than just nearly bleeding to death and escaping death on his sickbed.
Just like in the movie from a moment ago, Under Siege 2, the villains here are ruthlessly ruthless. The Christmas spirit is palpable. Family members are reunited in the afterlife. Unnecessary lives are not spared. The charismatic leader offers hope in return (hey, another fourth whore). Until Knight, who lashes out hard, comes to ruin their Christmas.
Certainly not a top movie, but this one is still passable.
