Summary: HO HUM HOMICIDE
Review: Who's in it? Crusty Harrison Ford (Gavilan) teams up with floppy-haired Josh Hartnett (Calden) as detectives in Ron Shelton's (White men can't jump) new buddy flick. What's it about? Gavilan is seen to be at the top of his game, yet his financial & personal life seem to be crashing down around him as he feverishly leads his rookie partner, who seems to be more interested in yoga practise and becoming an actor, on a high profile case. Nothing new then? An old cop, a young cop, a dead rap group, corrupt producers, corrupt cops, some car chases, fight scenes, oh and did I mention its all set in LA! So, the plot's as fresh as your grandma's aftershave!? Yes but this film knows its limits and plays with, in, and around them well, finding the comedy in the most serious of situations and making fun of itself and Hollywood at every turn. It doesn't always work, but it does contain a few gems and if you get bored you can always cameo spot along the way.

Summary: An hour and a half long boring yawn
Review: I'm not sure this movie was even worth the rental. It was really boring and moved extremely slow. The way the jokes came across was as if you knew the characters your whole life. It seems the movie expected you to already know everyone like it's Lethal Weapon 5. My advice: skip it and move on.

Summary: Horrible....
Review: Harrison Ford must have owed someone a favor to do this movie, because this is without a doubt his worst movie. I am still trying to figure out the point. This action-comedy had horrible action and was not funny. And what the heck was the deal with real estate sub plot? Do yourself a favor and watch some paint dry instead of watching this movie.

Summary: Missing something
Review: If it is a comedy, you probably can't laugh very loud. If it is an auction movie, you probably will find you back and forth your bathroom and fridge several times since it is not that tense. If it is a drama, you probably will know what's happen before it actually happens. Well, it is not a very bad movie but just missing something or, more precisely, losing focus.
I still laugh and I still finish watching the movie. It's not that bad to label it "stay away". But if you're a serious Harrison Ford fan and have high expectation about this movie, you will be very disappointed. By the way, the DVD itself is a one star. No delete scenes and special features.

Summary: not funny, and not interesting
Review: A film by Ron Shelton There really isn't a lot of positive things that I can say about this movie. The premise is that there is some rappers are murdered in a nightclub. Two detectives investigate the murders and find that it isn't a straight forward murder, but rather something that has deeper implications towards a music label and perhaps the police force itself. Joe (Harrison Ford) is the older cop who sells real estate on the side (and sometimes on the job). He is paired with K.C. (Josh Harnett), a young detective who is also a yoga instructor and an aspiring actor. Somehow all of this is brought together, but it really doesn't matter. The movie is a comedy. Director Ron Shelton can direct comedy, he has done so in the past with Bull Durham and Tin Cup (these were slightly more serious comedies). This movie was supposed to be funny. You can see some scenes working very hard for a laugh. It's just not funny. It is dull, uninteresting and I believe the last half hour of the movie was one long chase sequence. There are supporting performances and cameos from Master P, Gladys Knight, Lena Olin, Bruce Greenwood, Isaiah Washington, Lolita Davidovich, Dwight Yoakam, Lou Diamond Philips, and Martin Landau. The movie has enough quality ingredients that it should be a better movie. It isn't. It's a rather bad one. Skip this movie.

Summary: Really Not That Interesting
Review: I decided to watch Hollywood Homocide because I'm a big fan of Harrison Ford and I think Josh Hartnett is cute.(Am I shallow or what?) Frankly, I was really disappointed.
Harrison Ford plays a semi-cynical detective named Joe Gavilan who is also a real estate broker. Josh Hartnett plays a guy named K. C. Calden, his partner. He is also a wanna be actor who instructs yoga classes...
This film is full of cliches and is neither interesting or funny. There is an unnecessary sauna scene which hasn't got all that much to do with the plot. The plot, in case you were wondering, includes the murder of some rappers.
Here's the rundown. At some club a rap band gets gunned down by someone. Gavilaan and Calden are assigned to find out who killed them. (Of course, in the words of a friend of mine who watched this with me: As if I care.) Apparently someone did, however. Calden gets to have a cliche thrown into his story. His dad was murdered by a man who just so happens to be in league with the man behind the murder of the rappers.
Interwoven with the crime solving and the attempts at comedy are Galivan's desperate(yet boring) attempts to successfully sell a house, Calden's attempts to learn how to shoot, some wierd lady named Ruby with Galivan, and a nude girl in Calden's sauna. Plus you get to watch Galivan get punched and bloody.
Fun. I found the ending really disappointing also. It was definately a waste of money. If you must watch this film, I suggest you wait until a friend buys it and then borrow it.

Summary: A Different Kind of Movie.
Review: If you're looking for a movie that is full of action, interspaced with a little comedy and that is basically a buddy flick, then HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE is not what you're looking for. HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE has some action and is full of comedy, and it's mostly a buddy-flick. However, it's not an action-comedy buddy flick. Instead it's a dramatic-comedy buddy flick. Harrison Ford plays a Hollywood detective who also has a second job as a real estate agent. Josh Harnett plays his partner who also has a second job on the side as an yoga instructor, but what he really wants to be is an actor. The duo gets involved in a case involving some singer murdered at a local club. Along the way, there are all sorts of comical interchanges, some more hilarious than the Keystone Cops. I had heard a lot of negative things about this movie before watching it, so I watched it rather reluctantly. However, I was quite surprised. Granted, the film doesn't fit into a typical drama and the plot isn't that original. However, it really does work and work well. I think there are two reasons this film has been undeservedly panned. First of all, the vilians really aren't much of bad guys and are more like villians taken from an animated flick and blown up into a real person. Ford and Harnett's characters and many of those around them are fleshed out. However, the villians, who are so central to the plot, come off as being nothing more than cardboard cut-out bad guys. Had they been a little more interesting, then I think people would have enjoyed the movie more. The other main reason I think the movie has gotten negative reviews is that the film was advertised as a action-comedy, but it's not an action-comedy. It's more of a dramatic-comedy with a little action innertwined. Of course, the film also takes place in Hollywood and perhaps it reminded people of how much they loath what goes on in Tinsletown. Anyway, HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE is an underrated gem. It's definitely not for everyone, but if you have a quirky sense of humor and enjoy a comedy filled with drama and a little action, then you probably will enjoy it.

Summary: Lower your standards already.
Review: My gosh, if you hear so much bad things about a movie then go into the movie with lower standards. I enjoyed this movie. Yea, don't say, "WELL HOW DID HE LIKE IT AND I DIDN'T!". I liked it because it was... The plot sucks. No, not to the point where you say it's stupid but to the point where you don't care. Then there are the bad guys. At the end of the movie, you still won't know any of their names. They made the bad guys seem like nobody so you probably won't care about them by the end of the movie. The movie is comical though. Harrison Ford does a great job. Borrowing/Stealing a bike from a little girl in which he has to scream to shut her up, a funny elevator scene, and even a cool car race. I mean, the beggining 10 minutes were bad, but the movie picks up and eventually ends on a high note. Harrison Ford and Josh do alright together, although the movie is mostly Harrison Ford. Lower your standards. Don't expect Raiders of the Lost Ark or Air Force One or even The Last Crusade.. Just watch the movie.

Summary: A disappointment
Review: This movie would have been OK with any other star than Harrison Ford. He has made truly entertaining movies and I was disappointed in his choice of this one. When great stars do a lesser script, you get the feeling that it was done only for the money, with the guarantee that a lot of people will view the movie (as I did) because he stars in it.
