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. Starring Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett, HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE redefines the 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.

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

 Hollywood Homicide April 15, 2009
prissy (USA)
I love this movie it took forever for me to find this movie on dvd. I was so happy I found a copy that was not a boot leg copy. I would recommend this to anybody who is buying from this dealer.
 Drama and comedy just didn't work January 31, 2009
Patrick Nava (San Francisco, CA)
For some reason this movie may have tried a little too hard with the comedy. A got a few snickers here and there from Harrison Ford's part-time Realtor gag and Josh Hartnett's attempt at becoming an actor, but somehow those scenes were really reaching - for something (especially in the interrogation rooms with IAD).
I have a feeling that when the Distributor screened the final product with the Producer, Director, Editor, etc., they just said "Uhhh,okay."..."It stars Harrison Ford; it's got to be worth something!" I also have a feeling that at the Post-Production process the director may have winced at the ending scene as said "It's a Crapshoot," and then took a vacation.
This movie just didn't work out right.
 Very funny cop movie January 1, 2009
R. Bagula (Lakeside, Ca United States)
I think Harrison Ford has a real effect on making this a funny
good good cop and bad bad cop movie.
As funny as a people grinding murder mystery movie with homicide detectives can be. All that is bad about Hollywood is
made fun of here in a low impact that you might miss if you weren't paying attention.
The plot writing and dialog is excellent.
I really enjoyed this movie:
I met people very like these when I lived in LA.
Funny look at police work and after hours December 16, 2008
Larry J. Guidry
Hollywood Homicide This movie takes a light look at a Detective and his partner in a daily grind of solving crimes in L.A. and what they have to do after hours to keep thier lives afloat...Very good movie.
Good Action Movie September 30, 2008
Stephen P. Sanders (La Verkin UT)
Three actors that I really like: Ford, Hartnett, Olin. Action movie done in good taste. Some laughs. The good guys win in the end.
