A fantastic 2 hours!!

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2007)

Having had a lovely valentines day meal, i was looking for something to finish the night off. We ventured around London looking for somewhere showing Hot Fuzz but to no avail, everything was fully booked!! Then we happened upon an out of the way cinema with plenty of tickets available and what a bit of luck we did! From the outset, i should point out that there are obvious comparisons between this and Shaun of the dead, the main characters and the director being the most obvious. However where Shaun of the dead was rather a niche subject, Hot Fuzz has a subject which will appeal to the masses. The jokes are all spot on, some are visual, some are one liners and some are whole sequences which will have you in fits of laughter. The film begins slowly as a London policeman adapts to a new life in the country, but before long things start to hot up as everything isn't quite what it seems. The movie moves along at a perfect pace and there are some fantastic characters involved. The film actually has a slightly eerie feel to it and the last 25 minutes is an out-and-out gun fest. I would highly recommend this to anyone with an ounce of humour or who enjoys cop/action movies - a must see film!!
