Did this movie in a way, "kill" Harrison Ford's career?
Maybe that's not a suitable choice of words because he was at that point, a "permanent A-lister", but I'll let this description below explain it:

Hollywood Homicide - a double career killer for director Ron Shelton and Harrison Ford. Harrison had been soaring to great heights in the '90s but K19 and Homicide were back-to-back flops. K19 could be seen as an overall miscalculation but Homicide wasn't as excusable. It was designed to be purely commercial. Ford essentially never recovered after this, only retaining a high profile by doing sequels to his big 1980s hits. Shelton had a couple flops before this, but nothing so high profile and big budget. It would be 14 years before the director of Bull Durham and White Men Can't Jump would direct another feature film (which also flopped).
In other words, after Hollywood Homicide, it seemed like Harrison Ford had a much more difficult time drawing when it wasn't related to Star Wars, Indiana Jones, or Blade Runner. share
