Hot Fuzz

Big cops. Small town. Moderate violence.

Sandwiched deliciously between SHAUN OF THE DEAD and THE WORLD’S ENDHOT FUZZ is the second installment of British filmmaker Edgar Wright‘s so-called “Cornetto Trilogy,” an anthology trio of cult-classic genre comedies that serve up action, laughs and… blood.

As a former London constable, Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) finds it difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford. Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf (Nick Frost) for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village. With Martin Freeman, Bill Nighy,

“The movie duly quickens into pursuits of every speed, and the homage to action thrillers is there in the smallest detail; the clicking of a ballpoint pen, say, is amplified to sound as menacing as the cocking of a gun.” (New Yorker)
