Title: HO HUM HOMICIDE
Product review: Who's in it? Crusty Harrison Ford (Gavilan) teams up with floppy-haired Josh Hartnett (Calden) as detectives in Ron Shelton's (White men can't jump) new buddy flick.What's it about? Gavilan is seen to be at the top of his game, yet his financial & personal life seem to be crashing down around him as he feverishly leads his rookie partner, who seems to be more interested in yoga practise and becoming an actor, on a high profile case.Nothing new then? An old cop, a young cop, a dead rap group, corrupt producers, corrupt cops, some car chases, fight scenes, oh and did I mention its all set in LA!So, the plot's as fresh as your grandma's aftershave!? Yes but this film knows its limits and plays with, in, and around them well, finding the comedy in the most serious of situations and making fun of itself and Hollywood at every turn. It doesn't always work, but it does contain a few gems and if you get bored you can always cameo spot along the way.
