Kevin James is going from Paul Blart: Mall Cop to ex-cop for Edward Drake’s upcoming action comedy Guns Up. According to The Hollywood Reporter, James plays an ex-cop and family man who moonlights as a mob henchman in the new project. When the job he’s working goes wrong, both of his worlds collide.

In one of his last movie performances, actor Bruce Willis stars in the action feature “Detective Knight: Rogue”, directed by Edward John Drake, now available as VOD and in limited theater engagements:
“…in Los Angeles, four masked men robbed a truck full of cash. After the police arrive, the criminals steal a car from a nearby parking lot.
"However, the police corner the group, resulting in one of the robbers firing blindly at them. ‘Detective Knight’ (Willis) and his partner ‘Fitz’ exchange fire with the criminals, resulting in Fitz getting severely wounded. In the chaos, the robbers flee the scene.
“While Fitz is taken to the hospital, the robbers escape to New York City on a private plane. The robbers are revealed to be ‘Casey’ leader of the crew; “Mercer’, the hot-head of the group; ‘Mike’, Casey's best friend; and ‘Sykes’ the girl with the most intelligence among the group.

Sometimes I wonder why I punish myself with movies. Case in point, Detective Knight: Rogue. Another in Bruce Willis’ direct-to-market series of films, and yes we all know why he went down the route with his film career; this film comes from filmmakers Edward Drake and Corey Large, two men who between them have made some of the worst films of Willis’ oeuvre – Breach, Apex Predator and American Siege; with only Cosmic Sin, the second of the trio’s collaborations, providing a modicum of interest.
Now those films featured Willis in cameo-like roles, whereas here Willis is the lead, the titular Detective Knight, in what is the first of three films in a brand-new film series. Three films! It looks, from Willis’ IMDb...

"He's not robbing banks, he's putting on a show." Lionsgate has revealed the official trailer for an action thriller titled Detective Knight: Redemption, from filmmaker Edward Drake. This is actually the second movie a trilogy (uh oh) all from the same director, all featuring Willis as a Detective. I keep hoping all these bad Bruce Willis movies are done, considering his health, but nope there's always more. Redemption is the second one after Detective Knight: Rogue, released last month, and will lead right into Detective Knight: Independence scheduled to open in January. In custody in New York, Knight finds himself in the middle of a jailbreak led by "The Christmas Bomber". With the promised return of his badge in exchange for taking out the terrorists, Knight decides to help in the only way he knows how. Bruce Willis stars with Lochlyn Munro, Corey Large, Miranda Edwards, Beau Mirchoff, and Paul Johansson.

The trailer for the new Bruce Willis action vehicle titled Detective Knight: Rogue has been released by Lionsgate. This film looks to be yet another lower-budgeted direct-to-video release for the action star, except this one might be part of an already shot trilogy? In it, Willis plays a Los Angeles cop that sees an uptick in bank robberies in the city from an elite group of thieves.
The synopsis on the IMDb is what suggests the movie may be the first instalment of a trilogy:
Bruce Willis stars as veteran Detective James Knight, dedicated to navigating the demanding streets of Los Angeles, in this thrilling first of a trilogy of films. As the city prepares for Halloween, mask-wearing armed robbers critically wound Knight’s partner in a shootout following a heist. With Knight in hot pursuit, the bandits flee L.A. for New York, where the detective’s dark past...

"I was thinking… what if we try your way." Here we go again, another one of these. Lionsgate has unveiled an official trailer for Detective Knight: Rogue, yet another new Bruce Willis action thriller junk film to skip. Once again, these seem to be never-ending despite the announcement about Bruce Willis' cognitive disorder earlier this year. How many more are there?! Willis stars as veteran Detective James Knight. As Los Angeles prepares for Halloween, mask-wearing armed robbers hit Knight's partner in a shoot out following a heist. With Knight in hot pursuit, the bandits flee from Los Angeles to New York, where the detective's dark past collides with his present case and threatens to tear his world apart… unless redemption can claim Knight first. Also starring Lochlyn Munro, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Corey Large, Michael Eklund, and Johnny Messner. This looks instantly forgettable like always - nothing more than a cops & robbers story.
