A heck of a good time :)

Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright have teamed up to make, in my mind, some of the funniest most original comedies that have been seen in recent years. Firstly Spaced, and then Shaun of the Dead, and now Hot Fuzz all amazing shows that should be on everyone's to watch list. Hot Fuzz is along the same lines of comedy, with plenty of references to other films and shows mixed into a fantastic script.
The plot is fairly straight forward, overachieving workaholic officer in the London Police (Simon Pegg) is making the rest of the force (or service) look bad so they decide to sweep him under the rug into the countryside ... where nothing supposedly happens. He is met there by what appears to be a bungling inefficient local police force, and he is partnered up brilliantly with Nick Frost's character a complete slob for lack of a better word (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were best friends in both Spaced and Shaun of the Dead and they have a brilliant repartee together).Then the fun really begins ...
I did feel it was a bit slow moving to begin with, but then the finale is incredible certain elements of which are borderline genius. I will say this though watch out if showing the movie to younger viewer some parts are a tad graphic. So there you have it; another amazing movie from the driving force behind Spaced and Shaun of the Dead. PLEASE PLEASE MAKE MORE MOVIES GUYS (I think a Sci Fi spoof should be the next one :-) )
