Product Description
From Amazon.com
Harrison Ford lends his solid, perpetually disgruntled presence to Hollywood Homicide, an action comedy in which he's paired with the squinty eyes and peaches-and-cream complexion of Josh Hartnett (Black Hawk Down, O). Radical French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard would appreciate this complete deconstruction of the buddy-cop flick genre; basic cinematic elements (mismatched partners, a hard-ass superior riding them, arguments about who's going to drive, arguments about intuition vs. diligent detective work, the bad cop who killed Hartnett's father, etc.) have been scrambled and slapped together with no concern for coherence, making clear their innately artificial nature. Sex scenes and car chases come out of nowhere and disappear without consequence, providing arbitrary visual stimulus. During shootouts, it's impossible to tell who got killed or why, underscoring a basic doubt about the purpose of making movies like Hollywood Homicide. It's rare for a mainstream movie to be so daringly (if perhaps accidentally) avant-garde. --Bret Fetzer

Nothing Special About This Harrison Ford Movie,
By Trevor Gendre "Master Canada" (Wpg, MB) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hollywood Homicide (DVD)
I'm not going to summarize it (as it has been many times over here), but I will say that for Harrison Ford fans, this is a real disappointment. Both Harrison Ford & Josh Hartnett play somewhat goofball cops who are sloppily trying to solve a night club shooting in a black neighbourhood. I personally thought the acting was horrible, the one liners that Harrison Ford made were tacky & corny, and the jokes missed the punch line. But the good thing is that Harrison Ford has many great movies to make up for this one; and as for Josh Hartnett, well he is young and has a lot to learn.

i just didn't sense any comedic chemistry between Ford and Hartnett (1.5/5),
By falcon "disdressed12" (canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hollywood Homicide (DVD)
i was so disappointed with this movie.a buddy cop film with Josh
Hartnett and Harrison Ford should have had potential,shouldn't it?Ford and Hartnett play two cops who are partners and who also have second jobs to make ends meet or to have financial independence.they are called in to investigate the murder of a rap group.hilarity should ensue,right?if by hilarity,you mean endless yawning,then yeah,hilarity ensues.this one really hurt my brain.it was agonizingly boring to the nth degree.i think the real problem with this movie,is there doesn't seem to be any comedic chemistry between Ford and Hartnett and that pretty much sinks the whole movie.for me,"Hollywood Homicide" is a 1.5/5

This review is from: Hollywood Homicide (DVD)
All in all the story and plotline is very formula; there are good guys that are misunderstood and bad guys that are silly and scared. The good guys chase and chase and chase the bad guys. Will they catch the bad guys? Will the bad guys confess to unbelievable crimes? Or will just once the bad guys get away. Don't hold your breath.
There is an added wrinkle as both Detective Joe Gavilan (Harrison Ford) and his rookie partner Kasey Calden (Josh Hartnett) take care of outside interests while in pursuit. Mean time it is fun watching this almost cartoon like execution, as they run past all the familiar landmarks out and about Los Angeles, California, USA: Beverly Hills, Hollywood & Highland, Hollywood, Los Angeles Subway System, Mt. Olympus in Hollywood Hills, Pacific Palisades, Parker Center Police Headquarters -at 150 N. Los Angeles St., Parking Lot, L.A.P.D. Hollywood Station at 1358 Wilcox Ave., Santa Monica, Venice Canals, and Venice.
