Despite a talented cast, this movie doesn't work.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 24, 2010

How could so many talented people make such a tepid, superfluous movie? It's easy: that's what happens when you listen to your inner marketer instead of your muse.

The trouble is that Mr. Shelton and Mr. Souza don't do enough with the material to make it dramatically compelling.

This isn't a movie with big, outlandish explosions or unbelievable spectacle. It's a film about two normal guys trying to make the best they can out of lives they've built and now aren't too sure they even like.

The surplus of character humor seems all the more desperate in view of the essentially humorless stars.

It's a great piece of mindful escapism.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 15, 2003

A reasonably entertaining picture that nevertheless leaves you wondering -- what, exactly, did I just see?

Full Review | Jun 14, 2003

A buddy film starring two people who, even as the closing credits roll, appear to have just met.

Hollywood Homicide is about murder, all right: the wholesale slaughter of anything funny, original or even vaguely logical.

Full Review | Jun 13, 2003

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 13, 2003

Hollywood Homicide should have been a much stronger and funnier movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 13, 2003

More interested in Hollywood than homicide.

It's a movie an audience can settle comfortably into, and it pays off as it goes along.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 13, 2003

Action movies that show a real interest in characters and their quirks are so rare that you might be ready to forgive this one its sins of cliche and poky pacing.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 13, 2003

Sometimes the laugh is there, sometimes it's a coin-flip, and sometimes it all feels like so much made-up filler.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 13, 2003

Glutted with car chases, hot tubs, yoga lessons, psychics, rap murders, glitzy locales and smirks, smirks, smirks, Hollywood Homicide is obviously supposed to be a rollicking good time. Instead it's sporadicly, mildly amusing formulaic mush.

It's Get Shorty, but not as agile.
