Hollywood Homicide (2003) 6/10

Starring : Harrison Ford, Josh Hartnett, Lena Olin, Bruce Greenwood, Isaiah Washington, Keith David
Director : Ron Shelton
Running Time : 112 mins

Joe Gavilan (Ford) and K C Halden (Hartnett) are Hollywood detectives, both of whom dream of working in completely different fields. When they are assigned to investigate the brutal murders of the members of an up and coming rap group, they find themselves not only using the opportunity to make connections for their respective other fields, but also having to deal with an internal affairs investigation which coul cost them their jobs as police detectives.

This movie took too long to get going, but the last half hour or so was actually really good, with a chase taking up most of the action. Ford looks a little shakey in this movie, with Hartnett looking completely out of place as a cop, but overall their chemistry worked, and it wasn’t so bad that it unwatchable, just a little forced in places.
