Product Description:
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.

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.System Requirements:Running Time: 115 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG-13 UPC: 043396009271

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

Rating:  - Unfunny Drama
The film begins at a shooting range. Next we see scenes of Hollywood with a sound track that hints about this story. Customers are searched upon entry to a club. Two men prepare to shoot up this club. The crowd panics and flees, the police are called. The written note hints at humor, so do the actions of the detectives. Joe needs to sell his house for financial reasons. There is a comic scene with "Wanda"; it wasn't funny. The scene with the talk show host isn't funny. Then we see who ordered the ... Read More
Rating: - Shelve this movie in the cheap movies bin
This movie is not worth watching. It had a subpar plot and to be honest not a lot of action you would expect with a Harrison Ford movie. If you are looking for a great movie that stars Harrison Ford, please see another movie. By no means not this one!!!!.
Rating: - Hollywood Homicide (Alias Harrison Ford: What Were You Thinking?)
Ever since I was a kid seeing "Star Wars" for the first time more than thirty years ago, I have always been a big fan of Harrison Ford. However, the mind-boggling poor judgment he has exhibited in the last decade as to what box office failures he is willing to star in can no better be witnessed than in the astoundingly awful and unfunny movie, "Hollywood Homicide," which doesn't rate any better than a bargain bin rental.
Prior to viewing, I hadn't seen any movie with Josh Hartnett ... Read More
Rating: - Incredibly crappy movie
I saw this movie in the theater when it was first released. It was a bad movie then. It's a bad movie now. It doesn't even rate one star. The problem wasn't the acting so much as it was the script. The pacing of the script is slow as molasses in January. I was frankly bored.
In fact it was so bad I remember wishing I had gone to the movie alone so I could just leave. But I was with a friend who had really wanted to see it so I stayed. When it was finally over I asked my friend ... Read More
Rating: - A bad odor here ...
I'm a Harrison Ford fan, but this movie is hard to watch!!
I didn't even want to give it one star!!
If you want to enjoy it, go into it thinking it's
a comedy, just maybe you'll be a little entertained!
