Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

SnoopyStyle Hollywood police detective Joe Gavilan (Harrison Ford) and his young partner K.C. Calden (Josh Hartnett) are investigating the murder of a rap group at a nightclub. Joe is a self-confident grumpy veteran cop and selling real estate on the side. He's got a property that he can't get rid of. K.C. is a new-age youngster who can't shoot wanting to be an actor instead. Music producer Antoine Sartain (Isaiah Washington) had the group and others killed. Gavilan's rival Internal Affairs Bennie Macko (Bruce Greenwood) is out to get him. He's having an affair with psychic radio host Ruby (Lena Olin) who turns out to be Bennie's ex.These characters are not particularly fun but the movie wants them to have fun chemistry. This movie needs one comedian in the duo. Without that, the two actors are trying to do things beyond their limits. Ford has a bit of comedic edge but he can't be the funniest one in the group. Hartnett is who he is. The comedy doesn't quite work and the police case isn't anything too compelling. It could try to be a serious crime drama but it's not that either.

joelsmith190 I like crime thrillers. It's one of my favorite genres, though I haven't seen many good ones in the medium of film. Most of the time, I'm reading them, like some of Kellerman's or Grisham's. Most movie crime thrillers just seem to fizzle out, though there are some classics, if they tend to be critically panned. Yesterday, I watched Hollywood Homicide on Netflix and finished with mixed feelings.It promises to be both a comedy and a crime thriller, and it fails at both. There's maybe one point where I genuinely laughed because something funny happened, and about ten times where I just shook my head at the failed attempts at humor. The crime thriller aspect is ruined because there is literally zero mystery after about 10 minutes of the film when they literally show you who's the bad guy. Wow, you literally took away the entire point of crime thrillers: figuring out who done it and why. And the execution of telling you this is poor at best.The action is few and far between and isn't very well executed. The acting isn't all that great. It does have Harrison Ford as the leading character, but nor are there any other memorable names or does he do a great job himself. The characters are either bland or unlikeable. Harrison's is the best, and shows signs of potential. The dialogue is meh. There's some good stuff, iffy stuff, and deplorable stuff. There's even an uncomfortable and unnecessary sex scene (though it doesn't show anything, thankfully).So I wanted to like it, but the only piece of comedy comes in the first ten minutes, and the failed crime aspect kind of ruin this film. However, it does entertain for the rest of the film and didn't make me cringe much outside of the few failed attempts of humor. So it's not the worst thing, but it's a failed attempt at best. Hollywood Homicide gets a 5/10. Had it succeeded in either aspect it promises, it could've been a great film, but it just isn't great. It isn't good. It isn't decent. And it isn't even mediocre.

FilmBuff1994 Hollywood Homicide is a mediocre movie with an average storyline that I felt had the opportunity of being very different but simply didn't and a cast that could have delivered more.The set up of a buddy cop comedy in LA with Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett easily could have worked but simply didn't,they completely lacked any necessary chemistry for their parts.I always love seeing Harrison Ford on screen,but was very disappointed by his performance in this,he simply couldn't do comedy,he delivered pretty much every line very poorly and I feel like he slowly lost more and more interest in his role throughout.There were certainly a handful of parts that made me laugh,but there wasn't enough and there was nothing aside from that,the action sequences are unimpressive,and we are never really given any reason to truly care for these characters.It has its moments,but Hollywood Homicide is mostly a poorly written and poorly acted comedy that I would not recommend. Two detectives investigate the murder of a popular rap group. Best Performance: Josh Hartnett Worst Performance: Lena Olin

imdb-21622 I feel this movie is a bit in the vein of Get Shorty.It's a comic take on Hollywood and cop movies.I feel it just falls short of being as great of a movie as Get Shorty.For one thing, Harrison Ford's character is not that likable. His main schtick is trying to run real estate deals while solving a murder case. If we had some sympathy for him, this might work better.His partner is slightly more interesting, but also falls a bit flat in his role as a yoga loving, womanizing wannabe actor.That being said, the movie is good for some laughs. I found the interrogation scene pretty amusing. I found the final chase scene pretty amusing.Failing to find a better comedy on cable, this might be a possible choice for some mindless viewing.I should note that the plot is moderately complex, so you kind of have to pay attention at times IF you really want to understand the whole plot (I was surfing the internet while watching the movie, and missed some plot points.)
