Hot Fuzz is an Excellent and hilarious Action-Comedy that is filled,fantastic direction,an amazing cast,great laughs,explosive Action,a wonderful script and a memorable film score making Hot Fuzz a outstanding Cult Classic.
Set in the United Kingdom,Hot Fuzz tells the story of Nicolas Angel,a decorated by the book British Police Officer who's really good at his job in fact Nicolas is so good that his superiors feel that Nicolas makes his fellow officers look bad. And because of that,Nicolas' superiors transfer him to Sanford a small crime free town in Rural Gloucestershire to continue his police work and is partnered with bumbling cop Sgt. Danny Butterman. While there Nicolas discovers that there have gruesome murders of town folk that are made to look like accidents and when decides Nicolas to investigate and laughs,Action and Chaos ensues.
After the critical and financial success of the Zombie Horror Comedy Cult Classic Shaun Of The Dead many wondered what would director Edgar Wright,Simon Pegg and Nick Frost do for an encore and the great trio responded with Hot Fuzz,an hilarious and very thrilling Action-Comedy that is the second film in the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy and is another Cult Classic. If Shaun Of The Dead was a film that mocked and paid homage to Zombie movies and Horror films then Hot Fuzz is a film that mocks and pays tribute to Action movies and Buddy Cop films of the 1980s and 90s. As someone who loves and is a huge fan of the Action film genre I loved what the film Hot Fuzz was doing and what the film was doing taking a funny and hilarious target at the Action film genre and it's trademarks with non stop laughs and thrilling,no holds barred Action and the film never stops until the very end. The Comedy and Humor in HF is done with greatness and manic energy that is clever and offbeat almost to the point where you will be weak from all of the laughing you be doing while watching the movie. Edgar Wright loves Action films and Wright and HF wears it's Action film style on it's sleeve and makes hilarious references to Action and Buddy Cop films such as Die Hard,Lethal Weapon,Point Break and Bad Boys II(the latter two which are shown in HF)and also has some Action movie trademarks such as Gunfights,explosions and car chases. HF makes fun of Action scenes that you have seen in certain Action films and are serious but HF turns serious Action scenes on their head with smarts and dry wit. If you are an Action movie lover you will love Hot Fuzz's great sense of humor. Nicolas Angel and Danny Butterman are an amazing and funny Buddy Action duo that follow the classic tradition Buddy cop duo such as Riggs and Murtaugh in Lethal Weapon and Jack Cates and Reggie Hammond in 48 Hrs. Like those two fantastic duos Nicolas and Danny don't really like each other in the beginning(or in this case Nicolas doesn't like Danny)because Nicolas is the straight man and Danny is the funny one and loves Action films but as the movie goes on Nicolas and Danny start to like and understand each other and how they do things and when the two characters are together there is great laughs and humor but also depth and personality that is real. Nicolas and Danny are a memorable and unforgettable Action Buddy cop team that will stay with you after watching the film. The screenplay by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg is fantastic and really well-done giving the characters laugh out loud,rapid fire dialog that is fun and over the top and every joke in the film is done in such a flawless way. The Action scenes in the film are amazing and thrilling and will definitely have viewers excited and glued to the screen because with each Action scene there is so much devotion to detail and execution that every Action scene had to be perfect and the Action scenes are perfect. The ending or final 30 minutes of Hot Fuzz is thrilling and masterful because it mixes non stop laughs and explosive Action that have you roaring with laughter and on the edge of your seat the whole time and will definitely put a smile on your face. An funny and outstanding conclusion to Hot Fuzz.
The cast does great jobs in their roles. Simon Pegg is excellent and funny as Sgt. Nicolas Angel,with Pegg bringing deadpan Comedy to the role. Nick Frost is brilliant and hilarious as Danny,Angel's new partner and has great scenes and chemistry with Pegg. Jim Broadbent is fantastic as Inspector Frank Butterman,Danny's Father. Timothy Dalton is wonderful as Simon Skinner,a local Supermarket owner. Also,lookout for credited and uncredited cameos by Cate Balanchett(Janie),Film Director Peter Jackson(Thief Dressed as Santa),Steve Coogan(Metropolitian Police Inspector)and Bill Nighy(Met Chief Inspector).
The direction by Edgar Wright is brilliant and stylish,with Wright always moving the camera with zooms,close-ups and tracking shots and giving the film a wonderful energy and Wright also does a fantastic job with the Action scenes. Great direction,Wright.
The score by David Arnold is fantastic,intense and thrilling and matches the Action movie tone of the film. Incredible score,Arnold. There is also great songs on the soundtrack by artists such as Supergrass(Caught By The Fuzz)and many more. A wonderful soundtrack.
In final word,if you love,Edgar Wright,Action Films,Comedies or films in general,I highly suggest you see Hot Fuzz,an Excellent,hilarious and explosive Action-Comedy Cult Classic that you can watch again and again. Highly Recommended. 10/10.
