We finished watching this film, thanks mostly to our liking Harrison Ford. Afterwards, I felt a little embarassed for his having acted in what I'd call a Grade B movie. It's not terrible, but it's certainly not as good as a film like "Witness."
"Hollywood Homicide" treads a fine line between absurd comedy and suspense. The suspense plot is convoluted and just barely convincing. The comedy consists mostly of watching the two policemen pursue their dream careers by cellphone, while chasing criminals. This is funny only so long. Unfortunately, the film lasts longer.
We've seen films a lot worse than this. But I'd recommend seeing it only if you're really, really in the mood to watch a DVD and there's absolutely nothing better to pick. I'm rating it 2 stars.
