Hot Fuzz: Review


From the creators of Shaun of the Dead (2004), comes the new hit comedy that is a "No holds barred, adrenaline fueled, thrill ride."1 that will have you ensnared in its cunning, yet sidesplitting story. This hilarious cast includes Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Academy Award winner Jim Broadbent, and Timothy Dalton.

Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg reunite to write this crazy, inventive and very enjoyable action-packed buddy cop comedy that puts other action movies to shame. Not since Shaun of the Dead has British humor been as explosively entertaining and original.

Super cop, Nicholas Angel's (Simon Pegg) entire life revolves around his job on the force. He has been reassigned from the dangerous streets of London to Sanford, the quaint and quiet, village of the year holder. Danny Butterman (Nick Frost) a constable of Sanford is also the son to Chief Inspector Frank Butterman (Jim Broadbent), is a movie fanatic who lives vicariously through the action films he adores and wouldn’t mind to stop for a Cornetto. This most unlikely pair brings comical chemistry to the already sidesplitting story.

Timothy Dalton was malevolently Machiavellian as Simon Skinner the owner of Somerfeld supermarket. Not for years has Dalton been as mesmerizingly cunning.

Hot Fuzz has definitely left its mark in cinemas everywhere. This film is the epitome of British humor. Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg have perfected yet another genre that filmmakers and audiences alike can see how a sensational film is made or as the NWA of Sanford says the greater good.

4 stars
