Hot Fuzz

UK 2007, 116 minutes
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.

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) Hot Fuzz supplies plenty of hysteria along with its fantastic direction and plot. Possibly one of the funniest films i've ever seen as it's the marginally the best in the trilogy followed by Shaun of the Dead. ~Anon

4 stars (Very Good) Pegg,Frost & Broadbent make a great team in this well written parody. There is also a wealth of talent in the support cast. The action climax is very long & can be forgiven for going over the top because of the quality of what had gone on before. ~Tubbs
