Editorial Review:
IN HOLLYWOOD NO ONE IS WHO THEY WANT TO BE. A VETERAN POLICEDETECTIVE & HIS ROOKIE PARTNER ARE NO EXCEPTION. ASIDE FROM THEIR HOBBY JOBS THEY HAVE TO INFILTRATE THE HIP HOP INDUSTRY TO SOLVE A MAJOR MURDER CASE.
Description of Hollywood Homicide:
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 Reviews:
Very Good 
2009-11-09 - This is a very good movie. Harrison ford is in it so it's not bad, well what movie is with Harrison Ford. great actor. this movie rocks recommend it for everyone
Hollywood Homicide
2009-04-15 - 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 
2009-01-31 - 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 
2009-01-01 - 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
2008-12-16 - 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.
