"This is something I've to do myself!"

Rating: 7/10 (25 December 2009)

HOT FUZZ is a nice cop movie that we can easily insert in the action/comedy genre. It has very intelligent humor with nice and sharpened jokes, but also silly scenes with brainless funny moments.
Simon Pegg does the main role and one more time he does a good job; a bit different from what I was used to see from him, but good. The rest of the acting is also fine.
I'm not quite sure if it was a tribute or a spoof but that clear reference to BAD BOYS II near the end was kind of strange and explicit I must say! However, I guess we can split this film into two parts: one before that reference, and another after that. In the first half, it's a bit slow paced and centers in the investigation on the murders NICHOLAS ANGEL (Simon Pegg) did. The second half (about the last 30 minutes) begins when NICHOLAS says "This is something I've to do myself" after see the BAD BOYS II DVD cover on a gas stationThis part is all about the action in a very fast pace! Nice action scenes were done here I must say.
I did enjoy this movie, especially for the action and the jokes.
