Big Cops. Small Town. Moderate Violence
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, Nick smells something rotten in the idyllic village.
Critic Reviews:
- “Hot Fuzz is everything an action-comedy should be. It achieves through parody what most films in the genre can't accomplish straight.” – AV Club
- “A literate deconstruction of action movie tropes, while also being intelligent enough to actually offer a passable genre movie in the process.” – Patrick Nabarro
- “Wright understands how to perfectly balance action, comedy, drama, and suspense, and it pays off.” – Decider
