Pegg, Wright and Frost at their Finest,

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2012)

Hot Fuzz is a phenomenal movie with an extremely well developed plot and a stellar comedic cast that also shine in more tense moments. It is a wild ride from start to finish, Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright really put their heart and soul in to this script, continuing to do so when creating the film. The layers to the plot, the characters and the world they created is unbelievable, they clearly put in as much thought as possible and it shows in every frame.
It starts off seeming like a straight up comedy, and it is absolutely hilarious, maintaining the humour we have come to expect from these guys with Shaun of the Dead. However, as the plot continues, it gets very intense, and the finale had me at the edge of my seat in suspense. It manages to be funny, thrilling and somewhat frightening all at once.
The cast is all around terrific, the layers to every character is exquisite thanks to a clear back and forth with the director. It is always a pleasure to see Simon Pegg and Nick Frost on screen together, their chemistry is undeniable. Pegg plays a character far beyond what we have come to expect from him as an actor, portraying a stern police officer and showcasing his versatility. They are also joined by Jim Broadbent and Timothy Dalton, who fit in to this world perfectly, delivering some of their best work, as well as several great minor roles from British actors and comedians throughout.
Edge of your seat hilarity. Funny, ridiculously well structured and suspenseful, there really is nothing else out there like Hot Fuzz, and is a film that reminds me why I love watching movies in the first place, would recommend to all moviegoers.
A police officer is put in to a small country town outside of London. Everything seems fine at first, but he soon discovers there is more to its quaint atmosphere.
Best Performance: Simon Pegg
