Overrated in my opinion but still pretty entertaining and funny

Rating: 8/10 (7 March 2008)

Rated R for violent content including some graphic images, and language.
I missed Shawn of the dead which seemed to be a big hit.I saw this film about a month ago after hearing great things about it.I found it a bit overrated.It was pretty funny at parts but it wasn't uproarious like people are saying.It was entertaining and a fun spoof of cop/buddy movies but it doesn't deserve to be in IMDb's Top 250 or anything like that.The film is about a tough cop who must move to a small town in england where the cops aren't as good.He cleans up crime on the streets but there are a series of bizarre murders that are going on.Its up to him and his partner who is a big fan of cop films to solve the case.The ending is pretty surprising and I will not spoil it here.If you like British comedies or cop films, you should check out Hot Fuzz but I found it to be a bit overrated.Still entertaining though.
