Hot Fuzz (2007)
Watch it 'for the greater good'
I was lucky enough to see an early preview. I am a big fan of Spaced and Shaun of the Dead, but wow!!!. I have never laughed so much at a film. Even colleagues that weren't that impressed with Shaun of the Dead loved Fuzz.
It was non stop comedy, with some action and a little gore but only for comic effect.
Essentially a spoof of big action American cop films set in a small sleepy village in Somerset, UK.
Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is a top cop transferred from London to a place where finding a missing swan is about as exiting as it gets. However, things are about to change as there are a few 'accidents'. Can Angel and his new partner local boy Danny (Frost) find out what's happening.
It's got a start studded cast who all add to the sheer brilliance of the script.
There are so many memorable bits that keep me giggle to myself as I recall them. I cannot wait until it gets general release so I can see it again. I'm sure I missed a few visual gags and film references.
Having it introduced by the stars Simon & Nick was a real bonus. Thanks guys a comic classic.
