Uneven film. First part poor - ending was superb.

Rating: 8/10 (2 June 2007)

This team has previously done Shaun of the Dead which was great at the first viewing - but on the second time it wasn't that good. Hot Fuzz probably is exactly the same kind of movie. It hold only one time.
Film starts very promisingly, but very soon it is full of lousy jokes and over-acting - like too detectives on Stanford police station (other Paddy Considine was great on Dead Man's Shoes). I was already yawning and glancing my watch - when the real action and fun started! The end of the film is beautiful - or lets say action-packed and sheer laughter - just brilliant! I would give the first half of the film 4 points out of 10 and the second half 9 out of 10. There was some unbelievable scenes that I don't intend to spoil for you. Watch this film - at least the last part of it. I give extra credit for gory dead and injury scenes (Tim Dalton get's it bad:) in the film.
Shame about the first half - why couldn't they spare us from over-acting and jokes that work only in primal school...
