Fantastic Second Film by Ed Wright and Simon Pegg

Rating: 9/10 (14 February 2007)

Just been to to see this film. Went in with high expectations, due to the inspired brilliance that was Shaun of the Dead and being a big Spaced fan...AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED!!! One can ignore the somewhat slap stick humour almost solely advertised on TV; this really is a well done film! With a nice blend of visual gags, situation comedy (obviously), action, murder mystery and "buddy movie" styles, Hot Fuzz is as brilliant in everyway as Shaun of the Dead was.Additionally ( and if you're like me you'll smirk in recognition at these bits) the typical nods to the days of Spaced that seem to crop up in these films are there too (With Julia Deakin as the Pub landlady in Hotfuzz and flat land lady in Spaced).Not only that but there are a host of familiar faces, including Bill Bailey (in quite funny part,or should I say parts! ;-) ) and Bill Nighy (Perhaps a bigger part would have been better!)
Think Wicker Man meets Bad Boys meets the best damned English Comic talent in years. GO AND SEE IT!!!
