As a former London constable, Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) finds if 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.

Critics Consensus

The brilliant minds behind Shaun of the Dead successfully take a shot at the buddy cop genre with Hot Fuzz. The result is a bitingly satiric and hugely entertaining parody.

What makes Wright & Co.’s buddy-cop goof so spot-on is that, like their previous take on splatter flicks, the pair share an affection for -- and thorough knowledge of -- cineplex cheese with their film-geek fan base.

Deep Focus Review

This is great filmmaking and storytelling that just so happens to allude to other action movies in its construction. And quite frankly, it’s greatly entertaining in both the comedic and action realms, far surpassing its referenced sources.

Rated: 4/4

... the madcap shoot-outs that erupt in the cute little country village... is both a surreal parody of urban action spectacle and seventies TV cop clichés and a marvelous bit of comic action in its own right.

Film Frenzy

An amusing comedy that also manages to evoke memories of The Wicker Man, Plague of the Zombies, and other spooky yarns centering on eccentric villagers inhabiting the less-traveled paths of the British Isles.

Rated: 3/4

Had a blast watching this in theaters. Crowd was awesome. The only reason I can't go 5 is because I find the last act a little wonky and long-winded. Other than that, damn near perfect dark comedy

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I wasn't sold completely on the film but the ending was quite fun and clever so it stuck the landing. A lot of the humor was not landing with me. It is a fun story with some fun editing and some clever bits.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

This movie is undeniably a great film. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have some of the best on screen chemistry of any buddy cop paring. Edgar Wright's signature style is on full display in this movie and it's on point. The humor is great and thoroughly British Sometimes there are gags in this movie that you don't get until the fifth or even sixth viewing. That helps to make it the perfect rewatch movie. If you haven't seen this movie. Shame.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
