What happens

Hollywood Homicide is a 2003 American buddy cop action comedy film starring Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett, with a supporting cast including Lena Olin, Bruce Greenwood, Isaiah Washington, Lolita Davidovich, Keith David, Master P, Dwight Yoakam, and Martin Landau. It was directed by Ron Shelton, written by Shelton and Robert Souza, and produced by Shelton and Lou Pitt. The film is based on the true experiences of Souza, who was a homicide detective in the LAPD Hollywood Division and moonlighted as a real estate broker in his final ten years on the job. The film's title sequence is done by Wayne Fitzgerald, which marks it as his final time doing a title sequence before his death in September 2019. Released on June 13, 2003 by Sony Pictures Releasing, Hollywood Homicide was a critical and commercial disappointment, grossing $51.1 million against a budget of $75 million and received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, with the Rotten Tomatoes consensus stating that the film "suffers from too many subplots and not enough laughs."
