Hartnett is another one of those guys who is all face and no talent. He's not off-putting like a DiCaprio type but he's definitely there just for his looks. While it's not a straight-up chick flick, it's pretty close. This has some action, decent eye candy, some great stars, about 30% good tunes AND the jokes aren't all stale but they mostly come up short of the quirkiness they're selling here. I can watch this every 5 years or so.

When not solving murders in Hollywood, Detective Joe Gavilan and his rookie partner Kasey Calden both moonlight in other fields Gavilan sells real estate, and Calden aspires to become an actor. Assigned to the vicious in-club slaying of a promising young rap act, the two detectives delve into the recording industry where they hope to find answers - ideally ones that also come with property buyers or auditions......The problem with this film is that it cannot decide what it wants to be. Yes it's funny in places, but so is The Fifth Element (random I know) and I wouldn't class it as a comedy.It's a mishmash of different genres, drama, thriller, hip hop type drama, and action rolled into one. Or the little sub-genre I call 'the time when Ford tried to get down with the kids'.And this is all it is, Ford trying to get his mojo back after a string of flops with a Rap music background and a hot young co-star (think Exit Wounds).And for the most part, it works, Ford is great as he has this 'I don't care anymore' attitude that makes home endearing.Hartnett is okay and the rest of the cast are forgettable. Story wise it's all over the place, and Shelton should know better, Dark Blue was a great movie.So all in all, it's not good by any means, but curiously watchable.

I feel this movie is a bit in the vein of Get Shorty.It's a comic take on Hollywood and cop movies.I feel it just falls short of being as great of a movie as Get Shorty.For one thing, Harrison Ford's character is not that likable. His main schtick is trying to run real estate deals while solving a murder case. If we had some sympathy for him, this might work better.His partner is slightly more interesting, but also falls a bit flat in his role as a yoga loving, womanizing wannabe actor.That being said, the movie is good for some laughs. I found the interrogation scene pretty amusing. I found the final chase scene pretty amusing.Failing to find a better comedy on cable, this might be a possible choice for some mindless viewing.I should note that the plot is moderately complex, so you kind of have to pay attention at times IF you really want to understand the whole plot (I was surfing the internet while watching the movie, and missed some plot points.)

I didn't watch this expecting Oscar performances or an Oscar type script. I just wanted to watch a movie that entertained. And it did. Without huge gobs of blood, without cuss words every other second etc. I LOVED when H.Ford's character goes in to J.H.'s yoga class and Josh asks him how he found him. Harrison says, " I'm psychic." Josh goes, "Really?" and means that. hahah And all the women fawning over Josh is too funny and cute. Not to mention all the real estate stuff with Harrison Ford...trying to stay afloat. There is a LOT of that right now. hahahWorth watching and chill on the criticisms...geez, it is a movie, not brain surgery, right? Bad cop...no donut.
