It's for the greater good.

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2018)

Every time I watch Edgar Wright's satirical masterpiece - which I've seen many, many times to the point where I can almost quote it verbatim and I'm still not tired of it, I find some clever little detail that I previously missed and the feature has me laughing not only at the jokes that always work but also at the ones I didn't even notice before. That's just how meticulously thought-out and devilishly well-made 'Hot Fuzz (2010)' really is, working on multiple levels each as successfully as the last, and it's also the thing that most closely ties the 'Cornetto trilogy' together. The flick is simultaneously a hilarious comedy, a successful spoof, an exciting action-thriller, a believable buddy-cop 'bromance', a fish-out-of-water tale and a dark detective drama. Every frame of film and every word of the screenplay feels like they've been wholly controlled by masters of the craft to create the ultimate viewing experience of this kind and one of the best films ever made. 10/10
