It's not hard to see what attracted Harrison Ford to Hollywood Homicide, buddy cop movies if done well are usually successful, Josh Hartnett was on a role after 'Pearl Harbour', 'Black Hawk Down' and '40 days and 40 nights'. While Ford's last effort 'K-19 Widdowmaker' had flopped massively grossing only $65 million dollars World Wide off a $100 million dollar budget. You had to go back to the Robert Zemekis directed 'What Lies Beneath' with Michelle Pfeiffer in 2000 for his last hit. And in Hollywood 3 years can be a lifetime.
The plot, which was ridiculous to follow at times. Two LAPD detectives played by Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett investigate the murder of an up and coming rap band. In his spare time Ford moonlights as an real estate agent, Hartnett as a yoga instructor, but he really wants to be an actor, an spends a lot of time reciting 'A Streetcar Named Desire'
There are scenes of action, car chases (more like Smokey & The Bandit than Bullit) chases on foot and shoot outs. In between there was loving making and some sentimental soul searching before the predictable finale
Lou Diamond Phillips pops up, as does Martin Landau, Eric Idle Smokey Robinson, Robert Wagner and Gladys Knight.
Ford remains watchable, as always, but these are not two of his better hours.
