Hot Fuzz

Hot FuzzA British comedy with crime, mystery, murders and a lot of blood. Didn't recognize most of the main actors but there were some cameos by Bill Nighy and Martin Freeman.

Nicholas Angel was the best cop London had, with an arrest record 400% higher than any other cop in the force (or, the service). Being so good, he made everyone else looked bad, so he was transferred to the country. When he got there, mysterious deaths started to happen and he was determined to get to the bottom of it all. But the thing is, nobody wanted to listen to him and everyone just see all the deaths as accidents. The only person that trusted him was Danny, the son of the local Police Chief. A big fan of action movies, Danny was dying for a hot pursuit and shootings just like he saw in Bay Boys II and Point Break.

I thought this was a real comedy and didn't expect some gruesome deaths. But it was still very funny and very entertaining and some scenes were plain hilarious. Not exactly a work of art, but yeah, do watch it if you have time. Afterall, it got a very high rating on IMDb.com.

SPOILERS
The scene where they paid 'homage' to Point Break was SO hilarious. Danny finally got his dramatic scene he always wanted.

6 / 10.
