Dir. Edgar Wright
Genres: Comedy, Action/Adventure / Policier, Spoof
Feat. Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Bill Nighy
Aroview: A tour de force of comedy from the creators of SHAUN OF THE DEAD and TV's "Spaced", this fills every corner of its big widescreen with better jokes, bigger stunts and an altogether fuller script.
Co-writer Simon Pegg comes of age as an actor here as a by-the-book policemen who is assigned to duty in a quiet hamlet, where he suffers neither fools, parking offenders nor underage drinkers very gladly. But when a murder trail leads to the most unlikely suspects, the scene is set for hilarious set pieces straight out of the action, policier and gothic-thriller film-book. Rip-roaringly entertaining from start to finish, Pegg and his director/co-writer Edgar Wright certainly know their pop culture inside out, but also have no shortage of original ideas of their own.
Average rating (Exceptional). Showing 1-3 of 7 member reviews.
5 stars (Exceptional) Pegg and Wright seem a near-perfect writing combination, and the same can be said for Pegg and Frost's onscreen connection. This one will have you laughing out loud throughout the unlikely and comic murder-mystery plot. ~Tom H
4 stars (Very Good) An eccentric English village acquire a top city cop, who uncovers there's more to the seemingly sleepy idyllic township. Hilariously original, a very well executed film. ~GenXGirl
5 stars (Exceptional) Manages to be both an excellent zombie movie and an excellent comedy. ~dr.strangelove
