HOT FUZZ (2007 USA)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.0|5.0 Starsìììì

Hot Fuzz—a well-placed chuckle, here and there, make Hot Fuzz a good entertainment piece worth watching. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost cast well together. The film appears to flow toward a good conclusion with its own type of ease.

Storyline

Police Constable Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is transferred to a sleepy country village because his ambitious crime solving methods make other policemen look bad. This sleepy little village, though, isn’t as sleepy as it looks.
