Technically high-quality movie, but not very memorable. Verdict: Over-hyped

Rating: 6/10 (4 July 2017)

When I saw the trailer for this movie, I thought "Meh, looks kinda dull." But then I saw that Edgar directed this movie - I LOVE HOT FUZZ - and I became very excited about it, and this excitement was amplified by the early ratings in the 8.5-8.6 range. But when I saw it, I was unfortunately disappointed. There aren't too many memorable things about this movie, and it's predictable. It's moderately funny, and the chase scenes aren't as astonishingly mind-blowing as I was led to believe. The characters are decent and the story is OK, which puts it at a 5/10, but the editing is a tier above average so I'll give it a 6/10. I think the 10/10s are coming from car buffs who never watch actual 10/10 movies, or from people who like purely "realistic," typical action movies. I would really have liked to see something new and unpredictable, or to have some absurd humor or something, but it just wasn't there. This movie is a 7/10 MAX, although I still recommend you see it in theaters if you have nothing else to do. Personally I would not watch this again, and I am still debating whether the $10.50 was worth it.
