Movie Reviews

4 / 10

No More Rules, No more Codes.

This is the second of three films about Detective James Knight (Bruce Willis) The most dangerous piece on the board. The second film does not do a very good job of character introduction or recapping the first feature. There seems to be an assumption you are familiar enough with it that the brief flashbacks and refreshers are enough. Knight is in prison for his behavior as a rogue cop. The man (Corey Large) who shot his partner (Lochlyn Munro) and placed him in a wheelchair is also there. There are bank robberies across the city by men in Santa coats and rubber masks. We know the leader of the gang is the prison preacher (Paul Johansson). He causes a prison break. Knight is reluctantly given his badge back because all the CSI and FBI in the world can’t catch this guy.

Once again Willis doesn’t move too fast. He doesn’t look slow because his partner sits in a wheelchair. This is just a bad guy, who shot ’em up the film. About as good as the first one which isn’t saying much. Yes, I can wait for the next.
