November 20, 2009It's actually a highly entertaining buddy cop movie. Had this come out a decade before, it would have been praised and beloved. Josh Hartnett and Harrison Ford have great chemistry and the banter between the two is hilarious. The story was entertaining and plain fun, It's an exce... read more

September 7, 2009An enjoyable enough action comedy set in Hollywood. Not sure Harrison Ford is suited to comedy. A bit like Beverly Hills Cop but toned down a little. Good attempt but not a patch on Beverly Hills or Rush Hour.

November 17, 2008It's a very great lighthearted buddy cop movie. Harrison Ford admirably stretches himself to give a comedic performance as Joe Gavilon, a police detective who also moonlights as a real estate agent. I love the way Ford switches from cop mode to real estate agent mode at the drop ... read more

July 23, 2008Two cops who moonlight has an estate agent (Harrison) and actor (Josh) investigate a homicide. They don't have good chemistry as partners and the other plot lines don't add to the movie.

K.C.: Well, what do you think?
Joe Gavilan: Write this down.

Joe Gavilan: Cheeseburger, well done. Raw onion, pickle, ketchup. Nothing else.
Here is a simple buddy-cop action/comedy movie that is not afraid to poke fun ... read more -

The surplus of character humor seems all the more desperate in view of the essentially humorless stars. Full Review

A reasonably entertaining picture that nevertheless leaves you wondering -- what, exactly, did I just see? Full Review

A buddy film starring two people who, even as the closing credits roll, appear to have just met. Full Review

Hollywood Homicide is about murder, all right: the wholesale slaughter of anything funny, original or even vaguely logical.

Mike Clark, USA Today
Both leads in Hollywood Homicide work multiple jobs, and wear themselves out in the process. So does a movie with such a generic title that it's a marvel no one has used it before. Full Review

It's a movie an audience can settle comfortably into, and it pays off as it goes along. Full Review

Hollywood Homicide is one of those smooth formula jobs that always seems to attract the services of an actor of a certain age looking to extend his box-office power, and a fresh-faced newcomer who's a... Full Review
