Hollywood Homicide
Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett play detectives with second jobs who must solve a murder in another buddy-cop movie. Ford is a real estate agent who has invested a lot of money on a mountaintop mansion and as a result is falling short financially. His latest venture is to sell the mansion of a Hollywood producer. Hartnett is a yoga instructor in it for the sex and lookin to hit it big as an actor, so far with no success. A rapper has been shot at a club and Ford and Hartnett have been assigned as lead detectives. There are a myriad of suspects yet the two have trouble finding the evidence to convince one of them. Hot on their heels is internal affairs, led by Bruce Greenwood, who seems to have a vendetta against Ford.

This has all the elements of a great buddy-cop movie with one small problem. The buddies. Ford and Hartnett simply have no chemistry together. The movie is at its strongest, and funniest, when these two are separated on-screen. When they're together, it's pretty painful to watch. There's also a lot going on, from the murder, which gets forgotten about for about half the movie, the real estate deal, the yoga, the internal affairs, a fortune teller, a potential informant, Mount Olympus, etc, etc, etc. So you see, it's pretty tough to follow. Eventually, you will laugh, and there are a few good things to laugh about, but once you do, you'll wonder what it has to do with anything. 1.5 stars
