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. full review

February 15, 2008Quite the typical Hollywood Homicide, eh?
Somewhat Realistic.
Its not the typical american movie with the grump Mr.Ford, but it is a hell of a thrill-ride. I quite enjoyed it. It had it's comedy, romance, gore, action, thrills, etc. loved it.
" two thumbs up "
P.S. Mr.Ford, needs to shut the hell up on the celly. -
