Hollywood Homicide

2003 · 116 min

A scattershot buddy-cop caper that coasts on star charm and Hollywood satire, feeling busy and uneven rather than thrilling or funny.

Directed by
Ron Shelton
Genres
Action, Adventure, Comedy
Tagline
They're two cops with one shot at solving a murder... and surviving each other.
Overview
Joe Gavilan and his new partner K. C. Calden, are detectives on the beat in Tinseltown. Neither one of them really wants to be a cop, Gavilan moonlights as a real estate broker, and Calden is an aspiring actor moonlighting as a yoga instructor. When the two are assigned a big case they must work out whether they want to solve the case or follow their hearts.
