Hot Fuzz
Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is the best of the best. His arrest record is 400 percent higher than any other officer in London. He’s so good, he’s making the rest of the department look bad. Because of this, Angel is shipped off to the small, crime-free town of Sandford. There, he is partnered with Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), an over-eager cop dying for some action. Suddenly the town of Sandford has some mysterious accidents and Angel is convinced something is wrong. The men who made “Shaun of the Dead” have done it again. This time they have combined a classic cop-buddy movie with a quaint town in England, and yes, laughs definitely ensue. Because of the success of “Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz” was able to get an amazing supporting cast. Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman and Bill Nighy all get laughs. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are quickly becoming a fantastic on-screen duo and “Hot Fuzz” makes sure that besides the comedy there are plenty car chases, gunfights and explosions. One of teh best scenes on the movie is when Butterman (Frost) has Angel (Pegg) watch “Bad Boys II.” Not only do they show the part where Martin Lawrence says, “This sh*t just got real,” but it proves to be a turning point in the movie when Angel begins to break the rules, and take the law into his own hands. Hot Fuzz, although not as good as its zombie counterpart, is still an amzing film for fans of several different age groups.
