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, Gladys Knight, Master P, Dwight Yoakam, Eric Idle, Ron Shelton, Robert Wagner, Kurupt, Smokey Robinson, Lou Diamond Phillips, Martin Landau, and André Benjamin.
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 animosity is compounded by the fact that Gavilan's latest love interest, a psychic named Ruby, used to date Macko.
The partners track down K-Ro to his home, where Olivia professes her son's innocence and that Sartain was the real culprit.
Calden utilizes his acting skills to distract and incapacitate Wasley, and reveals he had a tape recorder on the whole time.
It is implied that Gavilan successfully brokered the real estate deal, and Calden is giving his all in the pursuit of his acting dream.
The roles of Gavilan and Calden were originally given to John Travolta and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, respectively, before Harrison Ford and Josh Hartnett eventually signed on.
Ford was looking for fresher material and UTA, the agency that had recently signed him, suggested it based on Ron Shelton's profile at the time.
"[4] One of the few major critics to give it a positive notice was Roger Ebert, who awarded the film 3 out of 4 stars and wrote "that it's more interested in its two goofy cops than in the murder plot; their dialogue redeems otherwise standard scenes.
