It's A Blast!

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2007)

What can I say, it's hard to describe Pegg/Wright stuff. They are their own genre really, not spoofing, not tongue in cheek it's like to films in one.
Now I'm lucky, not only am I a fan of Pegg,Frost,Wright ever since Spaced drew me in with it's premier episode I'm also a huge fan of the films and genres these guys love. Horror sub genre zombie I loved so Shaun of the Dead floated my boat and Action/Cop movies this time.
When the movie was 3 or so min's in I was thinking, hmm this doesn't seem as good as Shaun, where's the laughs. But the film does shift gears dramatically you never know what to expect from this film, just when you think it's a quite little comedy something extreme happens and you think WTF that was a bit much even for an action movie. You'll see, I mean Shaun of the Dead's gore/shock factor is topped.
Also if your like me already a fan of Spaced and SOTD. Plus a fan of Proper Cop Action films you'll have a blast. Lots of tiny references to movies like Lethal Weapon 2, Cobra and even High Plains Drifter & The Shining for some reason.
Go see it! 'cause I wanna see it again already.
