One of the greatest cop films to parody other great cop films

Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2007)

Hot Fuzz surpassed my expectations in so many ways. I never saw Shaun of the Dead, but after seeing this film I am exceptionally eager to see it. It is outrageously funny as well as suspenseful and action packed. I don't remember any comedies in recent years that had the total package like this one. I was also particularly excited to see Timothy Dalton in this film. The idea of 007 playing a creepy supermarket manager was just riotous. This film can be divided into thirds. The first third takes Nicholas away from London to the suburbs of Sanford. The incompetence of the police service is hilarious. The second third, the film seems to drag, and their incompetence begins to irritate me. The final third, Nicholas puts it all together and delivers justice to the perpetrators. The last third of this film takes such a dramatic turn and is completely worth it all! Trust me when I say this, you'll not find a comedy like this again for a long time!
