Detective Knight: Redemption
In custody in New York, Detective James Knight finds himself in the middle of a jailbreak led by The Christmas Bomber, a brutal fanatic whose Santa Claus disciples are terrorizing the city. With the promised return of his badge in exchange for taking out the terrorists, the steely-eyed Knight doles out mercy for the just...and merciless justice for all the rest.
Critics Sentiment
James Knight sits in custody awaiting trial
Christmas Bomber devolves into preacher crazy man
The film drops significantly when the initially promising Christmas Bomber villain transforms into a cliché crazy preacher, losing the momentum from earlier action sequences
Detective Knight Redemption starts with modest promise but quickly descends into familiar B-movie territory hampered by Bruce Willis's limited presence due to his health condition. While Paul Johansson's energetic villain performance and decent action sequences provide occasional entertainment value, the film suffers from poor writing, laughable effects, and a premise that devolves from intriguing to ridiculous. Most reviewers found it barely watchable as a guilty pleasure, with many expressing sympathy for Willis rather than genuine enthusiasm for the film.
