Just as good as Shaun of the Dead - and really quite original!

Rating: 10/10 (14 February 2007)

Now i was really looking forward to this film - although seeing all the trailers i thought it didn't look as good as Shaun of the Dead.
Boy was I wrong! Just when you thought Shaun of the Dead covered everything British, such as 'It's perfectly alright - i ran it under a cold tap' or 'Oh sorry dear - i was miles away!', Hot Fuzz comes back with more quotes such as 'She's ever so good' and 'It's just an accident'.
The writing is brilliant yet again. Pegg and Frost work fantastically again. Pegg acting the hard man and Frost acting the light hearted one really make this movie shine.
For those of you who don't know the story: 'Pegg plays Nicholas Angel - a top cop who gets moved to a quiet village because of his jealous colleagues. A village where everyone knows your name. Frost plays his associate - who really admires all the cool stuff Pegg has done back in his big city of London. Together - they uncover a conspiracy regarding the village and the 'safest village of the year' competition.
Those who haven't seen Shaun of the Dead will not get some of the jokes, but still - it's a fantastic film none the less. What other film might you see 80 year olds with machine guns shooting the hell out of everything! A true gem - and not a film to be missed. Just as good as Shaun of the Dead - and maybe better in some cases. They strike gold again. I urge you to see this film.
