Hollywood Homicide Details

I say it was Great !

Having not read the 'critiques' before watching the film - I now find them bizarre!

This is a very good film: Action, a great deal of humour, and it reflects the irony of policing in Hollywood.

The humour in the film is intelligent; I would suggest that some did not enjoy the film, because the tear educing humour went right over there heads..

I think it would be an advantage to potential viewers, to watch the brief 'Making of Hollywood Homicide' extra, before the film itself. In that way it may shed some light.

To conclude I would say that I have not used my pause button so much - I could not stop laughing in some places. {its supposed to be funny that?s the point!!}

In a buddy, buddy movie there are few paths to take. This movie was meant to be in the mould of the lethal weapon series, lots of action with laughs. To be fair it had it all, a good script, great actors who obviously had chemistry, Characters that whilst being predictable in this genre were never the less well written.

However it doesnt' work. As a matter of fact it didnt' work on such a level I had to watch the making of to see where it went wrong. This was very informative as it explained the importance of one character whose involvement in the story had left me a bit confused.

All in all this could've been one of the greatest buddy, buddy movies of all time, if it had been edited together a little better. Many of the 'Shocks' that are put to you come out of the blue with no indication previously that they were on the way, you know the ones, the little signposts so when it is revealed you say 'Ahhh'. The shame of it is, that any deleted scenes withstanding, the existing contents of the movie were they jumbled around a little would have made for a very entertaining couple of hours.
