Deplorable cop film from director Ron Shelton, doubly deplorable since it follows so close on the heels of his respectable cop film, Dark Blue. That one, of course, was accorded a delayed and a limited release and was attended by perhaps forty-two paying customers nationwide. This one, having learned its lesson, teams wizened hunk Harrison Ford with juicy hunk Josh Hartnett as plainclothes detectives investigating a quadruple murder at a hip-hop night spot, whenever they're not distracted by their respective sidelines: Ford a neophyte real-estate broker and Hartnett a yoga instructor and would-be actor in rehearsal for the Stanley Kowalski part in a hole-in-the-wall production of Streetcar. The film mixes action and comedy in such proportions as to produce acmedy or coction or possibly accomtion or cactedy. Or in another word, twaddle. A special pat on the back (not for congratulations but sympathy) to the prop department that came up with the misspelled ribbon for a funeral wreath: "In Memorium." With Lena Olin, Bruce Greenwood, Martin Landau. (2003) — Duncan Shepherd
