Review
Our Score
by
Jamie Russell
The second in the comic series for Simion Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright - the team behind zombie comedy
Shaun of the Dead
- was this gleeful pastiche of American action movies. Pegg stars as an over-achieving London policeman transferred to a crime-free village where all is not as it seems. What begins as a very funny, very British murder mystery eventually mutates into an ironic action spectacular that blows up half of Gloucestershire (or rather, Wells pretending to be Gloucestershire). Armed with a
Who's Who
of home-grown acting talent and a surfeit of gags,
Hot Fuzz
also showcases the continuing comic partnership of Pegg and co-star Nick Frost. Their mismatched cops play out every buddy movie convention imaginable while discussing subjects as diverse as ice-cream "brain freeze" and the homoeroticism of action thriller
Point Break
. More smart than silly, this is self-confident comedy that's proud to be British.
Summary
Concluded.
