A true gem hurt by a lack of advertising

Rating: 9/10 (21 May 2007)

Hot Fuzz is a true gem of a film brought to us by the same team that gave us the wonderful Shaun of the Dead.
I believe I only saw one commercial for this which I feel is a shame. Obviously word of mouth is doing the job the distributer should have done as this is still in the US top 10 after 5 weeks without any sort of an ad campaign.
The only fault I can see in this film is the fact that the second act took a little longer than I felt it should. Once act 3 kicks in though, the viewer is treated to what has got to be the craziest shootout I have ever seen.
Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright certainly seem to have a knack for mixing different genres together and making it work.
