Question: Is this movie great? Answer: Yarp!

Rating: 9/10 (24 March 2011)

Hilarious action-packed black comedy about overachieving London police officer Pegg forced to transfer into the country by jealous superiors who "Simply makes us look bad." When he arrives in Sandford, he notices petty laws continuously being broken and commonly hears the phrase, "The greater good." This all starts to add up when citizens of Sandford begin dying in tragic accidents. Frost is terrific as Pegg's dim-witted partner, and Bill Nighy is perfect in the bit role of the chief inspector. Plenty of laughs, plenty of blood, but perhaps a little too much action during the conclusion (probably a little overlong too). Still a classic in its own right, Pegg/Frost team continues to satisfy, and the film is still hilarious after several viewings. Considine and Spall are equally funny as the cocky moronic detectives.
***½ (out of four)
