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 what she thought. She said it was the crappiest movie she had ever seen and she regretted we had spent money on it.
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!
Rating:  - I LOVE THIS MOVIE
This is my favorite movie - as a matter of fact, if I were a homocide detective instead of a software salesperson, this could, in fact be my story. Anyone who has ever gotten a real estate license and worked another job understands this far more than the casual viewer. I particularly liked when Harrison Ford is doing a foot chase through LA after a murderer. On the street is a Buyer for a home on which he's negotiating. A counter offer is made by the Buyer and . . . well, you just gotta see it, it's fabulous. I bought this movie and I have loaned it to other realtors who have LOVED IT! This is a MUST SEE!
Rating:  - A fun cop comedy
Harrison Ford is very good at his role as a cop and Josh Hartnett is acceptable as his partner. They both have a second job but I still can't figure out how Hartnett is able to afford his Saleen Mustang. That is probably my biggest gripe though. I didn't mind the hip hop soundtrack and the movie is well directed. Isaah Washington plays a crazy record company owner on the run and Dwight Yokam plays his right hand man. Most of the movie is spent on the comedy and I thought that was a good choice. The chemistry with Ford and Hartnett is better than I expected. Ford is pretty good at acting intense, but comedy just seems to come natural to him. The action scenes are well done. There is enough fun in this film to recommend it to just about anybody.
3/5
The picture quality is 100% perfect. I have a weak 5.1 system, but this is the best I have ever heard it sound. There is also a director's commentary on the Columbia TriStar DVD.
Rating: - Romper Room
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.
