The film stars Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett as LAPD homicide detectives Joe Gavilan and K.C. Calden, two cops with bigger dreams. Gavilan moonlights as a real estate agent, while Calden teaches yoga and yearns for a career on the big screen. When an entire hip-hop group is murdered on-stage, Gavilan and Calden are called in to handle the case. As their investigation progresses, they begin to suspect that the rappers were offed for attempting to get out of their recording contract with label head Sartain (Isaiah Washington). Along with Bruce Greenwood and Keith David, the supporting cast boasts a plethora of real-life musicians, including Dr. Dre, Gladys Knight, Dwight Yoakam, Master P, and Ronald DeVoe of New Edition and Bell Biv DeVoe. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
The trouble is that Mr. Shelton and Mr. Souza don't do enough with the material to make it dramatically compelling.
-
J. Hoberman, Village Voice
The surplus of character humor seems all the more desperate in view of the essentially humorless stars.
-
David Edelstein, Slate
It's a great piece of mindful escapism.
-
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
A reasonably entertaining picture that nevertheless leaves you wondering -- what, exactly, did I just see?
-
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
A buddy film starring two people who, even as the closing credits roll, appear to have just met.
