Pretty dumb
12 February 2004
I was stuck seeing this and I don't consider my viewing to be some surprise treat. All in all, this is a pretty dumb movie. Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett(who--I'm sorry to say--have absolutely, positively NO chemistry together)lumber around,in some weird plot I never even "got" that involves rap stars, psychics, and ...uh, career-change longings(Ford's character wants to sell real estate and Hartnett's character wants to be an actor... "It's my bliss..." he says, a line that was repeated aloud in disgust by someone else who had the "pleasure" of seeing this).

Ford's and Hartnett's characters are also in trouble themselves, for some reason I also did not quite "get," except that I know it involved what has to be one of the most UN-creative conflicts for a police-themed movie of Hartnett seeking revenge against some bad guy who killed his father, who was also a cop...

The climax/ending has all of the usual conclusions one would expect to see in a movie like this, as well as a lot of weird, slap-stick resulting from Ford's hot pursuit of a suspect. Somehow Ford ends up riding a kid's bike. It sounds dumb, and is, but was actually more amusing that just about anything else.

All in all, "Hollywood Homicide" was basically a waste of time.
