Good but not perfect

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2007)

I was this at a preview screening last night. If you liked Shaun of the Dead or Spaced you'll like Hot Fuzz as it's very much in the same vein of humour.
It was great to see a British film given a proper budget to be able to produce a high quality movie with good quality special effects. The humour is typical of British movies and no doubt will lead to the film being a success.
The film is a little slow to start with (much like Shaun of the Dead) but the story quickly develops before degenerating into a Bad Boys II style gun-fest with massive gun fights in a village setting.
I wonder how many more films Simon and Edgar can do together before the style of script and shooting start to get repetitive.
