Hollywood Homicide
"Hollywood Homicide will keep you on the edge of your seat with it's adrenaline-pumped action." -Earl Dittman, Wireless Magazine
From Oscar-nominated Ron Shelton (Best Writing, Original Screenplay, Bull Durham, 1989) this hot action comedy is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat...and in stitches. Starring Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett, Hollywood Homicide redefines teh buddy-cop genre. In Hollywood, no one is who they really want to be. Veteran police detective Joe Gavilan (Ford) and his rookie partner K.C Calden (Hartnett) are no exception. Between Joe's struggling real estate business and K.C.'s fledgling acting career and yoga instruction, they've got a major murder case to solve. With both Internal Affairs and their main suspect on their tails, Joe and K.C. have to infiltrate the dangerous world of the hip-hop recording industry. Juggling two careers proves to be a comical adventure, with Joe and K.C. desperate to stay alive long enough to catch their big break.

Ford as another Detective - Akhar
It is a movie with Harrison Ford in it, rather than a Harrison Ford movie. It’s also a little uneven, with some moments bordering on the ‘classic’ and others bordering on the ‘tired.’ So, don’t expect much and you’ll be pleasantly surprised by some great moments(the elevator scene comes to mind). Steel yourself for the run-of-the-mill minutes and you’ll enjoy a little bit of Hollywood, not a classic, not a bummer, above the raspberry awards and below the Oscars.
Josh Hartnett puts in a pretty good performance and Ford is not in a great role, though he plays it fine.Surprisingly lame - Jujubes
I like Harnett, I like Ford, but neither is to blame here. I cannot believe how lame this movie was. I couldn't even force myself to laugh at the lame jokes.
The plot is to blame. The pace was slow in the beginning and I was waiting for something better to come along; and it didn't. There are some interesting ties all over the place that could have been done better. It is supposed to be a comedy and yet I didn't find it funny. The jokes are lame and outdated. Everything is too predictable.Surprisingly watchable - XTRUClerk
I was very surprised to find myself enjoying this movie. Though I am a big Harrison Ford fan, this one just looked and sounded silly. I thought Ford's character was actually quite interesting and watching police officers moonlighting as actors and realestate agents had a certain amount of humor to it. I would have found the movie more interesting if Ford was still coming out with one of these every eight months instead of every three years. Honestly, with that much down-time you'd think the projects he was making would be better, instead it's all just throwaway fluff. Oh well, still a good rental. Cheers.
