A star rating of 4 out of 5.
Jamie Russell
Following zombie comedy Shaun of the Dead, the second film in Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and director Edgar Wright's "Cornetto trilogy" offers a gleeful pastiche of American action movies. Pegg stars as an overachieving 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.
