Genre: Comedy, Action, Crime/Mystery
Year of release: 2007
Director: Edgar Wright
Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman
The second film in the ‘three flavours cornetto trilogy’, Hot
Fuzz also stars Simon Pegg, but this time as the British constable, Nicholas
Angel, who is transferred from London to a sleepy town in country England. His
new partner-in-fighting-crime, the less adept Danny Butterman (Nick Frost).
However, mysterious deaths have been on the rise in the town, and Nicholas and Danny
team together to solve the mystery.
Similarly to Shaun of the Dead, Edgar Wright is at it again
with his quality filming style providing so much to the movie. Particularly in
this one, he uses script to his advantage. If paying attention, the entire plot
is spoiled comically for the audience early on in the film, as Danny Butterman
questions new pro-cop Nicholas on life as a London Cop. He asks a number of
radical questions to do with action stunts and fighting crime: all of which
Nicholas finds ridiculous, but all come true at the end of the film.
Once again, Edgar Wright and his acting co-stars create one
of my favourite films. Its ability to create such an intense plotline but
maintain the humour and spoof of the action genre make this film an all-time
great.
Final rating: 9.9/10 fudges.
