Better than "Point Break"!?!

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2010)

For those of us who know that "Point Break" (1991) isn't the greatest movie of all time, we have "Hot Fuzz". And we get to side with Simon Pegg who should become one of the greatest comedic actors, in North America, if he isn't that already in the UK.
Pegg is a hardened police officer from London who is transferred to the sleepy village of Sanford. Most of the other officers don't believe crime occurs here, or if it does, won't report on it. The one crime that does get reported is when a swan escapes from a lake. But Pegg playing against-type is action-ready and quickly becomes attuned to everything going on in the town.
It's no accident that "Hot Fuzz" has a high average IMDb rating of 8.0. It's inventively funny with a humorous and active plot. It's not as explosive and violent as the poster suggests, definitely comedy first. "Hot Fuzz" also has a wide appeal and should work for many ages and lovers of any genre.
