A Great Spoof!

Rating: 9/10 (28 August 2007)

Most of the reviews that I've seen that are bashing this movie are doing so because the movie is taking itself seriously enough. Its supposed to be a comedy! THe reason the last 20 minutes of it are so hectic is because they're spoofing buddy cop movies like Bad Boys 2 and Point Break. The extreme gore is also another tool that they use.
I found this movie to be hilariously funny and had absolutely no problem sitting through the whole thing. It seemed to me to equal that of Shaun of the Dead. True, it is a little slower going in the beginning, but if you can have an attention span of more than 5 minutes, I guarantee to you that it picks up and becomes hilariously funny and wildly over the top (in a good way).
Simon Pegg does another wonderful job and while I was used to him as the lazy slob from Shaun of the Dead, he quickly takes on the role of Hero Cop in a quick and believable fashion.
I would recommend this movie to anyone that is old enough to watch it and to anyone who has time enough to really enjoy themselves
