There are some laughs to be had here, but they are islands in a becalmed ocean. So the essential question becomes: Are four or five genuinely funny moments worth an expenditure of nearly two hours of valuable time? 

Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett team up -- and fight the bad guys on kiddie bikes! -- in this amusing cop movie about the murder of two rappers.

--Stephanie Zacharek (Salon)

May not be the most coherent movie, but it is funny and it is one heck of a good time B

--Craig Younkin (Lee's Movie Info)

Hollywood Homicide was the first movie since Shanghai Knights where midway through I couldn’t have cared less if I just walked right out without experiencing the rest of the journey. C

Throw in the shooting of the rap group, the gunfire on the streets, the car chases and the ultimate fight between Gavilan and his prey on the roof of a tall building and "Hollywood Homicide" doesn't seem quite so funny or so driven by the characters. It's just driven -- right over the top.

--Ron Weiskind (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

---

Neither the Rush Hours nor the Lethal Weapons have anything on Hollywood Homicide. This one attempts to reuse a concept that made the former two successful without any distinctive quality. 4/10

If you approach Hollywood Homicide on the level of silly summer entertainment, you'll probably have fun with it. 

--David Nusair (Reel Film Reviews)

Hollywood Homicide is zany, slick, sharp-witted, and original, making it one of the funniest movies to come around in a long time! 

--Chad Law (MovieWeb)

Hollywood Homicide is a great 'buddy cop' movie that I hope will revitalize the genre back to the good ol' days of Beverly Hills Cop and Lethal Weapon. 

--Brian Gallagher (MovieWeb)

---

Hollywood Homicide is just a lot of fun 

--Sean Driscoll (MovieWeb)

Grumpy and wry are two things Harrison Ford does well. In fact, there's an argument they're the only things he ever does, and with "Hollywood Homicide" that isn't about to change. 

--Nev Pierce (BBC Films)

It's a humiliating comedown for Ford, and he looks creaky and grumpy, obviously aware that he is miscast and dreading every scene. 

--Jami Bernard (New York Daily News)

Not only is HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE the first full-blown all-out "miss" of the big blockbuster summer season, but it's also the first that's just plain ol' boring too. I haven't heard an audience this quiet since ARARAT! 4/10 --'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com) Amusing comedy-thriller that takes some well-aimed swipes at both Hollywood and action movies in general – worth seeing for Ford’s nicely-observed performance.  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon) Jaded LA homicided detective Joe Gavilan has seen it all before and is surprised by nothing - which is just how you will feel after viewing this tired old hokum. 2/10 --Anton Bitel (Movie Gazette)
