Further cementing 2003 as the year of
Ron Shelton cop movies, the director continued his vacation from the
sports genre with
Hollywood Homicide, a
police comedy that comes right on the heels of
Shelton's
Dark Blue, a decidedly grittier cop
thriller. The film stars
Harrison Ford and
Josh Hartnett as LAPD homicide detectives
Joe Gavilan and
K.C. Calden, two cops with bigger dreams.
Gavilan moonlights as a real estate agent, while
Calden teaches yoga and yearns for a career on the big screen. When an entire
hip-hop group is murdered on-stage,
Gavilan and
Calden are called in to handle the case. As their investigation progresses, they begin to suspect that the rappers were offed for attempting to get out of their recording contract with label head
Sartain (
Isaiah Washington). Along with
Bruce Greenwood and
Keith David, the supporting cast boasts a plethora of real-life musicians, including
Dr. Dre,
Gladys Knight,
Dwight Yoakam,
Master P, and
Ronald DeVoe of
New Edition and
Bell Biv DeVoe.
