Hollywood Homicide movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Hollywood Homicide is one of the most lazily scripted, poorly structured, smugly stereotyped star vehicles in recent memory. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Hollywood Homicide thinks constantly ringing cell phones are really funny. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Lands with a thud right from its painfully unfunny prologue and maintains its plodding, exasperating course straight through to its car-chase-and-shootout finale. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: ... really funny. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: It's the best role Ford has had in a while. The best movie, too. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: There are too many deft grace notes and underplayed jokes to take in at a single viewing. Read more
Bob Longino, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The opposite of L.A. Confidential, it's D.O.A. But it does have one good chase scene. Read more
Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times: No one comes out of Hollywood Homicide looking good, but the film fades fast. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: It must've seemed a sure-fire hit on paper. Too bad they forgot to make it entertaining. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: It's Get Shorty, but not as agile. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Ron Shelton, working from a script that he wrote with Robert Souza, has a trick up his sleeve; it's his cheery skewed tone. Read more
Philip Wuntch, Dallas Morning News: Hollywood Homicide will remind you of at least a dozen other movies, most of them better than this one. Read more
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert, L.A. Weekly: Looking weathered yet professional, Ford carries what he can, but pretty and sullen Hartnett barely comes to life, leaving his partner stranded, and straining. Read more
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture: Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: It's a humiliating comedown for Ford, and he looks creaky and grumpy, obviously aware that he is miscast and dreading every scene. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: The trouble is that Mr. Shelton and Mr. Souza don't do enough with the material to make it dramatically compelling. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: There are some laughs to be had here, but they are islands in a becalmed ocean. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: One of the pleasures of Hollywood Homicide is that it's more interested in its two goofy cops than in the murder plot; their dialogue redeems otherwise standard scenes. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: A reasonably entertaining picture that nevertheless leaves you wondering -- what, exactly, did I just see? Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: It's a movie an audience can settle comfortably into, and it pays off as it goes along. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Hollywood Homicide ought not to be as much fun as it is, but it is. Read more
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail: Sometimes the laugh is there, sometimes it's a coin-flip, and sometimes it all feels like so much made-up filler. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Hollywood Homicide should have been a much stronger and funnier movie. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Both leads in Hollywood Homicide work multiple jobs, and wear themselves out in the process. So does a movie with such a generic title that it's a marvel no one has used it before. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: An attempt to merge a semi-jokey buddy movie with a more realistic account of cops' messy private lives, Hollywood Homicide falls short on both counts. Read more
J. Hoberman, Village Voice: The surplus of character humor seems all the more desperate in view of the essentially humorless stars. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: A buddy film starring two people who, even as the closing credits roll, appear to have just met. Read more
