Fantastic from beginning to end

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2007)

I must admit to being a little worried about Hot Fuzz before seeing it.
The set up seems to be great, Spaced was excellent, but I always felt that Shaun of the dead lacked something (I can't put my finger on it I like it but I don't love it).
These worries were totally unfounded. Hot Fuzz has a deep love of action movies which makes it truly excellent and not some godawful parody movie.
The over the top sound dub, the shaky cam, the pointless gymnastics, the gun fights and car chases are all done seriously which increases the absurdity and this the comedy.
It is what they set out to make the Midsomer murders directed by Michael Bay.
