The Spaced team serve up another

Rating: 10/10 (25 February 2007)

I don't want to say too much, as there is some brilliant comic timing in the film and as always is well written and contains a couple of sly references to old jokes. Of course, the film is riffing on action/cop films and creates a fantastic running joke around the "cop whos dedicated to his job".
Containing just about every British comic working in the business, as well as an amazingly dastardly turn by Timothy Dalton, this is a must see for any fans of spaced of shaun (obviously) but manages to make the film more consistent that shaun, and overall is a better film. THe only slight reserve i have is the action, as it is stamped "action/comedy" you'd expect more, i wasn't disappointed at all just recognised that this wasn't going to be an actioner!: so don't go expecting lots of action, because this is essentially just a (gory) comedy. There are a couple of throwaway sequences towards the end but while slapstick and humorous i feel the films merits lie in the amazing writing and comic timing, as well as the performances. Oh and the fact that it is very refreshingly British as well.
Surprisingly the story itself is a twisting tale, and a few surprises along the way. Overall this is a fantastic film, that id gladly go and see again. Keep it up is all id say!!
