Fantastic Follow-up!

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2007)

Firstly let me say I entered an advanced preview screening of Hot Fuzz with more than a degree of trepidation having thoroughly enjoyed the previous work from these writers & the assorted ensemble cast. Having enjoyed Shaun of the Dead (and spaced etc) so much I has hoping not to be let down by this. Thankfully I was far from let down and have to admit to enjoying this even more than SOTD.
In my opinion this film has a little bit of everything whilst managing to never overdo any particular aspect. Whilst SOTD was described as a rom-zom-com this contains so many elements of thrillers, comedy, gore, and action. There are also a number of references to other feature films as is customary in any feature from this writing duo.
The film starts a little slowly but jokes still come relatively thick and fast and for once the film is not ruined by the having all the best material in the trailers! The cast appear to really enjoy making the film and who wouldn't as the movie is a veritable who's who of British comedy and acting pedigree. I cannot recommend this film highly enough to everyone I meet & shall intensify my promotions once it is on general release on the 14th. :)
Enjoy!
