At just under two hours long, Hollywood Homicide is at least 30 minutes too long... at least. The first hour drags by as they try to cobble together the storyline and some sense of comaraderie between Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett as mismatched cop partners. Sorry, Danny Glover and Mel Gibson are the experts, and our two new guys are not up to the challenge.

If you've been to Hollywood, you might enjoy the incessant location shots that begin with what has to be every use of the word "Hollywood" anywhere in a 30-mile radius during the opening credits, and end with gratuitous pauses during a chase scene to show various landmarks of speculative importance.

I must have checked my watch three or four times during this film, and that's never a good sign. The final 15-20 minutes saved this film from being a complete waste of time and from being a "Stay Away!" rated film. The deadpan humor of Ford's cop/realtor finally hits its mark during this time, and the action makes up for the lack of any substantial plot, unneeded sub-plots (see running time comments), and dreadful editing.

What can I say about Harrison Ford's latest movies? K-19, What Lies Beneath, Random Hearts, and Six Days Seven Nights -- all less than stellar performances after a good outing in Air Force One (which was 6 years ago).

Can we please get this man a fourth Indiana Jones film before every ounce of confidence I had in him goes away for good??

Bottom line: if you must see this film, don't pay full price. If you don't see it in the theater and you're still curious after reading these comments, please catch it on HBO or in the $0.99 bin at your local video store... which shouldn't be too long based on the film's fifth-place finish in its opening weekend. At least then you can catch up on the Sunday paper while you watch it.

A smart little crime thriller about a pair of cops (Harrison Ford, Josh Hartnett) who are investigating a series of murders in Hollywood. The film is fun to watch for me because I know my way around the city since I went there in 1998 for the Media Workshop. The film also has an exciting chase squence though Hollywood. These guys can get around.

Although I thought the storyline could have been better, I did find it entertaining and enjoyable.

I hate to do this, especially after rating "Wrong Turn" a "wait for rental", but I just can't find much of a reason to ever recommend this one to anyone.

While the premise was fine, it wasn't executed at all. The performances were phoned in and it looked like things were randomly added just so they could sneak in a bunch of cameo appearances.

Harrison Ford tries to be funny at times, but it's more of an uncomfortable feeling than one of humor. Josh Hartnett plays a Yoga instructor at one point in the film. That's the role he should have been in, not a cop. He doesn't have the look or the presence to fill a roll like that. Put the two together and you've got a disaster.

Best part of the film? When the credits roll and you know it's finally over. Don't bother with this one. Not even worth renting.
