hot fuzz, 2007

Director: Edgar Wright
Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost
Tagline: Big Cops. Small Town. Moderate Violence.

Basic plot: Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg - cowriter) is a stellar cop who has 400% more arrests than any other London police officer. Because he makes everyone look bad, he is sent to a small town to disappear.

This is a great buddy comedy action horror flick. You've gotta remember these are the guys that brought us Shawn of the Dead, so when people die in this film, there's lots of, um, bloody debris. Is it just me or did Simon Pegg have a bit of a Daniel Craig thing going on when he was 'all-business'? Mmmmm ... nice.

Things i loved after one viewing:

1. crossword puzzle at the front desk
2. the shortcut thru the gardens
3. the sea mine & swan recurring themes
4. "policeman officer"
5. the fight in the model town

Recommended (may be better with beer).
