2003 - HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE, can't miss cop buddy movie really misses.

Hard to know what happened with this one.  The writer director/writer Ron Shelton was an old pro.  Harrison Ford was a top star.  The cop buddy movie was usually a money in the bank genre for the movie studios.  But this one did miss.

Apparently Ford and his costar Josh Hartnett didn't get along and it shows.   They have absolutely no chemistry together. The film is redeemed by a decent action climax but it's probably a little late by then.  The film does have Lena Olin in it for the love interest which is sort of a compensation.

 

The film runs 116 minutes.  Shelton and his police advisor Robert Souza wrote it.
