3 observations about the suckiness of this movie

I'm watching this movie right now and I am making three observances other than the obvious one that this movie sucks...

1. Josh Hartnett is a bad actor...he sucks...he was not a good cast for the character. UPDATE: At the end of the movie he does a good job acting like a bad actor, kudos

2. I do not want to see anyone over the age of 40 do freaky stuff in bed in any movie. It is not sexy, it is gross. TAKE OFF THE BLINDFOLD AND STEP AWAY FROM THE BED HARRISON!

3. Over a period of 10 minutes, Harrison Ford's cell phone has rang at least a dozen times in the movie with the most annoying ring tone ever. IT IS SO DAMN ANNOYING! It's bad enough hearing people's annoying cell phones ringing when I'm at Wal-mart/library/church/etc., I do not want to hear a cell phone ring more than twice in a 90 minute movie, that is my rule. Yeah, and at least have a polyphonic ringtone at that, none of this lame Do..der....do....do...do...der crap! UPDATE: At the end Hartnetts phone rings a monophonic crappy "Funkytown" followed up with Ford's lame ring again!

UPDATE:Hooray, It's over!

I agree the movie sucked. instead of watching it I was reading the jr. mint box. but as far as observation #2 is concerned brad pitt is 42 and heather locklear is 44 and if they ever made a "home movie" I'd download it. so maybe like 55 would be a better age where onscreen sex became illegal ........ with the exception of sean connery of course.

I agree - I couldn't believe how much the movie sucked!

#5 During every promo for the film, ie trailors, Harrison on Letterman etc, they showed the SAME CLIP of the movie (that car chase). Never a good sign.

I agree with you pal. Let me point out some more reasons why this movie was terrible:

Josh Harnett
Terrible writing
Lack of good shootouts
Josh Harnett (He can't even drive a car for Pete's sakes)
Harrison Ford in his worst role ever.
The scene in which Harnett commanders a mini van with a family(it was not funny, it was just stupid)
A cop wanting to become a stage actor? Somebody shoot this moron in the knee.

Only one good point:
That hot looking babe in the hot tub.

observation #2, u said no one over 40? how about jullianne moore, she's hot. and marrisa tomei, courtney cox, laura linney, joan allen, jodi foster, michelle pfeiffer, golie hawn, geena davis, kim basinger? they are all, in my opinion really sexy! anybody agree?

Ok this is going to get me into trouble, but I like Josh Hartnett. He was awesome in: The Faculty, The Virgin Suicides, Black Hawk Down, "O", 40 Days and 40 nights (ok, anybody could have done that one note role, but it was well-done by him), and in Sin City. He was OK in Hollywood Homicide, considering his abyss of poo on Here on Earth.

Harrison Ford is the man, and he can do freaky stuff in bed if Sean Connery can still pretend to get 25 year olds. (but then again, Entrapment was ok and Connery still has my Mother's vote and she's 45)

Hollywood Homicide isn't bad, it just isn't terribly funny, especially when it obviously tries to be. But I like it. Like Ron Shelton said (paraphrase) "I fell in love with the characters so much I fell in love with the idea of exploring them over and over again more than the idea of continuing the movie." So there you have it, he liked the characters more than the story. Sadly I feel the same way and it only makes this movie alright at best.

Plain and simple, Ron Shelton had a bad script and Harrison and Josh had horrible chemistry. Personally, I don't know why Harrison touched this one.
