Hollywood Homicide

Hollywood Cops is the 'Danish' title of the film Hollywood Homicide. It apparently has to be American at all costs, but the distributors evidently do not have too much faith in their audience's command of English.

The film is a reasonably entertaining police comedy about the partners Joe Gavilan and K.C. Calden, who work in the Hollywood homicide division. The older and experienced Gavilan has little success as an estate agent in his spare time, while his younger colleague K.C. teaches yoga and, as a fringe benefit, picks up women by the dozen.

They become involved in a tangled murder case concerning the shooting of a rap group that was just about to make its breakthrough. Gavilan and Calden make progress with their investigation, but someone is evidently trying to put a spoke in their wheel, for suddenly Internal Affairs begins to show an interest in the two policemen. The question is who in the system has an interest in stopping Gavilan and Calden?

Hollywood Cops is a lightweight. The plot is somewhat unstructured, and you will search long and hard for originality, but the entertainment value is fine.
