Movie Info
Further cementing 2003 as the year of Ron Shelton cop movies, the director continued his vacation from the sports genre with Hollywood Homicide, a police comedy that comes right on the heels of Shelton's Dark Blue, a decidedly grittier cop thriller. The film stars Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett as LAPD homicide detectives Joe Gavilan and K.C. Calden, two cops with bigger dreams. Gavilan moonlights as a real estate agent, while Calden teaches yoga and yearns for a career on the big screen. When

The trouble is that Mr. Shelton and Mr. Souza don't do enough with the material to make it dramatically compelling.
The surplus of character humor seems all the more desperate in view of the essentially humorless stars.
It's a great piece of mindful escapism.
A reasonably entertaining picture that nevertheless leaves you wondering -- what, exactly, did I just see?
A buddy film starring two people who, even as the closing credits roll, appear to have just met.
Hollywood Homicide is about murder, all right: the wholesale slaughter of anything funny, original or even vaguely logical.
Despite a talented cast, this movie doesn't work.
This is going to go down as one of the lesser films in the portfolios of Shelton, Ford, and most everyone else involved.
My guess is Shelton and fellow writer Robert Souza borrowed an idea from TV's improvisational 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?'
Harrison Ford ainda sabe fazer graça. Pena que o diretor Ron Shelton e o roteiro não saibam.
Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett, are given enough character quirks to made this trip in cliché-ville more enjoyable than most.
Audience Reviews for Hollywood Homicide
Super Reviewer
-
- Joe Gavilan: Commingling funds, huh? That's my crime? Commingling? Guilty. My alimony number one comes from money commingled with my beer money. My refinanced car commingled with the short-term loan to keep the second mortgage paid off, commingled with my alimony number three, commingled with every goddamn dime I've got tied up in my Mt. Olympus property. My whole life's commingled.
-
- K.C. Calden: I don't think I want to be a cop anymore.
- Joe Gavilan: Then what do you want to be?
- K.C. Calden: I want to be an actor.
- Joe Gavilan: [shrugs] You're gay. I can deal with that.
-
- K.C. Calden: How did you find me?
- Joe Gavilan: I'm psychic.
- K.C. Calden: [amazed] Really?
- Joe Gavilan: No, not really. I'm a detective for Pete's sake.
-
- Joe Gavilan: Looks like we're gonna be here a while. Let's get going on some chow.
- Joe Gavilan: [to Cop] Cheeseburger, well done. Onion, pickle, ketchup, no mayonnaise and no rabbit's foot. O.K.?
- K.C. Calden: I'll have the same.
-
- Joe Gavilan: Yes, Yes, I do understand the rights you just explained to me. But you know what? I don't like to remain silent, and I do not need an attorney because this is all BULLSHIT! [looks out two-way mirror]
- Joe Gavilan: AND YOU CAN PUT THAT ON THE RECORD!
-
- Joe Gavilan: Hey, you. Come here. I see mayonnaise. Did anybody in this hear me say the word 'Mayonnaise'? Read your notes. What does it say? 'Cheeseburger, well done. Raw onion, ketchup, pickle'. You call that well done? In addition to the mayonnaise, I see lettuce... Lettuce that somebody tried to scrape off here. This is a disaster. What the hell do they teach you at the Academy anyway? You wanna be a detective when you grow up?
- Cheeseburger Cop: Yes, sir.
- Joe Gavilan: Don't call me 'sir!' I work for a living. Dump this for me please. I expect better.
