I recently saw the movie Hot Fuzz. The movie stars Simon Pegg as Sergeant Nicholas Angel and Nick Frost as PC Danny Butterman. Pegg and Frost are well known for their zombie movie spoof: Shaun of the Dead. Hot Fuzz has nothing to do with zombies, but rather it is a comedy based on action movies such as Bad Boys II and Point Break. Sergeant Nicholas Angel is a tough cop from London, who is sent to the country because he is too good (h
e was making the rest of the police force look lazy/incompetent). Once in the country, Sgt. Angel is paired with the incompetent PC Butterman, who is the Police Inspectors son. Sandford seems like a very tame town, but in the end the action is intense. Throughout the movie there are scenes borrowed from other action films like Point Break with a comedic twist (The scene where Keanu Reeves fires wildly into the air is seen on T.V., and later duplicated ). Don’t worry about the commercials and trailers they don’t ruin more than 3 minutes of the 2 hour film.
This was a great movie: it was funny, and action packed. If you are looking for running jokes from Shaun of the Dead, you won’t be disappointed. Be warned, this movie is rated “R” for a reason, there is intense violence and quite a bit of blood and gore, but if that doesn’t bother you then I highly recommend this movie. This genre of British styled spoof is becoming quite popular, and expect Pegg and Frost to be on the big screen again soon.
