Enjoyable comedy

Police Constable Nicholas Angel is the pride of the London Service, trouble is is that he is making everybody else look bad, so much so his superiors promote him to Sergeant in the sleepy village of Sandford, Gloucestershire. Yet all is not right with Sandford as the locals start meeting grizzly deaths, thus thrusting Angel into his biggest case so far.The biggest question on most film goers lips was could the pairing of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg triumphantly follow the monster cult success of Shaun Of The Dead? Well the plot premise for Hot Fuzz hardly leaps out as something to grab the attention span of many, but they have crafted a tremendously funny film that winks at the action genre with genuine love and admiration.Simon Pegg and his trusty sidekick, Nick Frost, clearly have an earthbound appeal that many (even outside of Britain) can warm too, not pretty or over svelt, these guys are fans of movies making movies purely for the fans, and it shows. Neither Pegg or Frost try to steal scenes from each other, both men after over a decade of working together are clearly comfortable with their coupling and thus manage to fine tune their working chemistry.Once Angel (Pegg) lands at Sandford Village we are introduced to a ream of British Village stereotypes (archetypes actually), all characters ripe for hilarious scenarios that our fish out water (big city cop) Sergeant struggles to comprehend. We observe as he is dumb struck at the ineptitude of the Village Police Force (erm service actually) and is then forced to work alongside dough eyed Constable Butterman (a film stealing Frost). Angel's exasperation at where he finds himself is mirthful joy to us the viewers. The dialogue is priceless, one liners and hat tipping nods to the action genre come thick and fast, in fact you can watch Hot Fuzz repeatedly and play spot the homage each time. I mean come on people, we got both James Bond (a delicious turn from Timothy Dalton) and Belloq in here strutting their stuff. The action set pieces are not found wanting either, director Wright having the time of his life with the crash bang wallop that flows in the final third.The test of a great comedy is how it stands up to repeat viewings, to me Hot Fuzz delivers no matter how many times it is viewed. For even when you know what is coming up next, the smile on your face is already there before the event, wonderful, wonderful film made by guys who love movies as much as ourselves. 10/10

This movie had past my expectations!It's even more funny and action packed than Shaun of the Dead !Ever since seeing Shaun of the Dead and seeing spaced , I have been a huge Pegg/Frost/Wright fan !I love their wonderful blend of straight faced yet absurd comedy and stylish small budget yet big results type action.Their scripts also seem brilliantly crafted.The delivery of dialog,timing choreography and pacing of plot are all very well executed. It's a joy to watch this movie flow from scene to scene.And of course it is all very funny, while trying to keep a macho stiff upper lipped atmosphere. ( Not in an entirely serious way though )These boys seem to continue to give us great innovation through their style of British action comedy and continue to impress.I get oh so very excited when I see something new from them ..... and they don't do so many projects together, but when they do turn out something it usually is top notch stuff.This movie is about an overachieving police officer of London who has been recently promoted to sergeant.Unfortunately there are no sergeant positions in London ( Or so his jealous superiors tell him ), so he is unwillingly transfered to the countryside village of Sanford.This gives our hero with not a lot to do considering the low crime rate of the countryside or so it seems.Unlike Shaun of the Dead which I thought started off great, had a great middle and ended a bit anti-climatic .... Hot Fuzz seemed to be the opposite .... it didn't start off so great, built up great stuff during the middle and ended with a bang/ a huge payoff ..... which I suppose is a lot better.Funnily enough there a few scenes that contain the kind of gore in their last big movie, which almost seem out of place/over the top for a cop movie , but does add an eerie chill to it all.All in all another unique watch and it's good to see more action British movies.A must for British comedy lovers and regulars of the cop buddy genre will appreciate it greatly too.These guys are just such a unique kind of funny , it's hard to explain in words , so just watch and experience it for yourself.i hope the boys continue to put new spins on old genres and continue to gently poke fun at time while still creating a great movie for us that genuinely great in it's own right.Currently one of my top fav movies of all time. I can't wait to see what these boys get up to next on their next project together.
