Hot Fuzz (2007)
Strong Violence, Strong Coarse Language
Nicholas Angel is the finest cop London has to offer, with an arrest record 400% higher than any other officer on the force. He's so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel's superiors send him to a place where his talents won't be quite so embarrassing - the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford. Once there, he is partnered with the well-meaning but overeager police officer Danny Butterman. The son of amiable Police Chief Frank Butterman, Danny is a huge action movie fan and believes his new big-city partner might just be a real-life "bad boy," and his chance to experience the life of gunfights and car chases he so longs for. Angel is quick to dismiss this as childish fantasy and Danny's puppy-like enthusiasm only adds to Angel's growing frustration. However, as a series of grisly accidents rocks the village, Angel is convinced that Sandford is not what it seems and as the intrigue deepens, Danny's dreams of explosive, high-octane, car-chasing, gunfighting, all-out action seem more and more like a reality. It's time for these small-town cops to break out some big-city justice.

It started well - interesting cutting and good British character acting (which the Brits do so well) but it was way too long and the violence at the end was very childish
Darren
says
Classic British comedy again. Very appealing of course to anyone who liked Shaun of the Dead or Paul. This may be better than those two films?
Vanessa
says
Brits excel at dark comedy and this is one of the best of the genre. Brilliant, hillarious film; I never get tired of watching it.
Shane
says
Enjoyable, funny, witty, more words in this same vein. Get it you will like it.
Alice
says
This movie was hysterical, Sean Pegg is a genius. Rather then being a the anti hero as he is so often cast in this Sean has written himself a character that is, meticulous, moral and somehow totally loveable and his intellectually challenged side kick is adorable to watch, one of those movies I know I will watch again and again!
TG
says
Easily the second strongest work by this team after Sean of the Dead. It contains the same magic mix of tribute and satire, but then inserts honest characterization and story. And there's not a moment wasted - compelling from beginning to end..
nibbo2
says
This film is a really good action movie, It shows the English 'Bobby' really getting into the action. There are some surprises for the viewer, The best car chase I have seen, for a long time, Real tongue in cheek, stuff, Lets hope they make a sequel,
me
says
Very strange black comedy, but very compelling at the same time.
Su
says
Some good parts in the movie and it's obvilously a send up on all the overdone action fils
but what could have been a good comedy was way too long and becomes very boring.
Mick
says
Pretty childish
EK
says
Not quite as good as Shaun of the dead, but very entertaining.
Lisa
says
I loved this movie when it first came out and still love it now :-)
Malic
says
Brilliant! Swings from buddy comedy to horror to action, classic lines and scenes throughout. Possibly Timothy Dalton's best role ;)
Jessy
says
Good movie if you don't want to think and just want to laugh.
Jon H.
says
Fantastic. Plays heavily on the old "Only sane man in a world full of morons" gag for much of the laughs, but that's always a reliable premise, and it does it with flair and originality. Much of the film is a set-up to for all the punchlines to come thick and heavy in the final twenty minutes, but it's well worth the wait.
Mr Denmac
says
I don't know if it was good, but I thought it was pretty funny
Bruce
says
Hugely enjoyable. Running gags all the way through, cliches flying everywhere,and the obligatory shoot out. Just sit back and have a laugh!
Tristan K
says
Funny as!! Simon Pegg is awesome
Robin McKay
says
Loved this movie.
Ali A.
says
If you like silly British humour, then this one's for you. What a fabulously funny film.
LaviniaG
says
Possibly the funniest film that I've ever seen - could watch it repeatedly, has excellent extras (especially the flick book one). It has inspired me to check out the other films by the same actors. You don't need to be interested in cop movies to watch this.
JenniferT
says
Hilarious! "By the power of Greyskull!" he he he. Not for kids or for the squeamish.
Jodie B.
says
This is one of the best movies I have seen. It is a bit 'over the top' and not too serious but that is what makes it appealing. Loved it Loved it Loved it !!!!!
Duran K.
says
Very average indeed. I personally don't think Simon Pegg has done anything decent since Spaced.
Barbara P.
says
Surprisingly entertaining and yes, there was a plotline! The final scenes so ridiculous but it cracked me up - very well done.
Jacquie
says
Found this movie to be a very entertaining send up of all the 'shoot out' movies around. Would recommend it for a tongue-in-cheek laugh.
Eve W.
says
This movie didn't appeal to us. We didn't find it funny or entertaining at all. Boring.
Jing
says
Not my type of movie.
Kate T.
says
I should have realised it was a comedy - was not in the mood, so had to turn it off 1/2 way through.
Sussan
says
Funny. Because it makes fun of itself and this genre of film. If it were a serious example of the genre it would flop but because its satirical the one liners work.
Erina.
says
This movie is awesome. I strongly suggest that if you want a good laugh, watch it.
Peter F.
says
I was not in the mood for this..after 10 seconds switched off and returned it..perhaps another time but for now a 2/10
Scott T.
says
very funny love british comedy
Paul
says
Loads of laughs. Loved it.
cara H.
says
good very good
John
says
This turned out to be a delightfully enjoyable film. Unlike other British films, it doesn't stay low-key and has quite an action-packaged final half-hour. Not your average British Cop film!
Avril
says
Funny.
Lynnie
says
An entertaining movie though it took me about ten minutes to get comfortable with it. Light, kooky fun.
Peter
says
The actors tried hard but it was a bit too silly for us - we like a movie that's a bit more believable
Brendan
says
A slapstick British comedy with schlock-horror! You will lkke this is you are found of British comedy.
May not be to the liking of some: you will like it a lot or hate it. I liked it.
stimpy
says
Good film with lots of fuzz.
Jeremy
says
Started off better than it finished. Good cast. Bit like the Curate's egg.
Biko
says
Simon Pegg is as dry as a cracker and a complete crack up in this riotously funny Britcom Fuzzflick. With a cast of gazillions and from the team that brought us Shaun of the Dead, we're guaranteed a cack or three... Imagine Frank Oz's Stepford Wives have been living in Royson Vasey... Yep, it'd take Pegg's Top Of His Class character Nick Angel to clean up a bit. And he and his loyal and endearingly bumbling but dedicated partner, played by Nick Frost, have quite the time mopping the blood off the floor, and the roads, and the Church Fete to make the sleepy little village of Sandford worthy of it's self aggrandising annual title of "model village," and all whilst on the lookout for a wayward swan. There's a mine of tongue in cheek wit in this film just builds and builds; script, acting, direction and production. The disc itself is packed with extras that are well worth a peek, too. Clealry the whole cast and crew had a blast in the making of, and it shows in the final cut. I enjoyed this film so much, I rushed out to buy a copy. Watch out, spooky sleepy hollow, the Hot Fuzz'll getchya! Riotously recommended.
Lynette
says
Not what I expected, but was really enjoyable. Do yourself a favour and watch this film.
Michelle G.
says
Love British comedy they just know how to do it so much better than the yanks. Hilarious film.
Carolyn A.
says
If you like "Borat" you'll like this. If this is supposed to be satire or at least funny, then I'm Catherine Zeta Jones. Stupid story, stupid violence. Life's too short to watch abysmal movies like this. Avoid.
Helen H.
says
Wonderful, goofy English spoof on those ghastly US cop shows. Loved it.
Alison B.
says
If you like British humour, you'll understand how 'they' don't take themselves seriously and can 'take the mickey' on just about anything. I loved this movie, all the subtleties and in-jokes. Just brilliant. Laughed all the way - neighbours must've wondered how I could laugh when the sound-track was all guns and explosions. You had to be there.
Steve L.
says
Comedy only as the British can make - I think there is a strong case to ban Americans from making comedies and only have comedy from Britain. Side splitting humour, this will assist if you are feeling low.
Elizabeth C.
says
I've watched this movie a few times now, and it just gets funnier every time I see it!
It's a silly/dorky comedy, but the british really do have a great sense of humour, you can't help but be entertained.
Will probably watch again soon!
Better than Shaun of the Dead (same actors, same sort of style) and definitely smarter.
Ross C.
says
Great humour, dry & sometimes dark, but funny
Georgina K.
says
Brilliant!
Nigel W.
says
Not quiet as good as Shaun of the Dead but nevertheless entertaining in its own way. The ending is silly rather than inspired. Simon Pegg is good as usual.
Wendy D.
says
Great movie, very funny
Nicole A.
says
Loved this film - original, full of wit, humor and action. They must have had a ball making it - our whole house had stitches watching it! Big Thumbs up!!
(thanks to all the other Quckflix critics that pointed me in the right direction - would have never known about this film with out you!!)
Anthony B.
says
Angela C.
says
Another excellent movie from the fine folk at Working Title, who also did Shaun of the Dead, Bridget Jones' Diary, and Love Actually, to name but a few. There are moments that seem reminiscent of Shaun of the Dead, but maybe that's just small town syndrome! An interesting storyline that's a great twist on the classic whodunit, as well as a fantastic display of why Brits Do It Better, it would be a crying shame not to see this movie!
Sarah W.
says
Absolutely hilarious! Not for the queasy though - my mother will attest to that!! Thoroughly recommended!
Jason P.
says
Wierd, wierd, wierd, with some funny bits throw in along the way.
Kind of like Run Fatby Run meets Shawn of the Dead
Danielle F.
says
Loved it! For someone not usually into English humour I found it hilarious. Make sure you check out the blooper reel as well!!!

Very funny in places but a little too silly.
Marion S.
says
A real suprise and a good laugh!
Keng Y.
says
Amazing, what a twist at the end. entertaining !
Allan H.
says
What a hoot! A great throw off of English and American cop shows. Some very funny moments.
Nicholas W.
says
Another hilarious British comedy. Although considering the number of quality actors and comedians in Hot Fuzz, it almost would have been harder to make a bad movie than a good one. I can't wait for more from Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, their snappy writing and genuine laughs get me every time. They all seem to be having as much fun making the movie as I was watching it.
Wayne W.
says
Brilliant deadpan performance from the lead. Ace London copper steps on too many toes and gets sent to a tiny village where his pedantic ways conflict with the "softly softly" country approach until he uncovers the village's darker secrets. This is basically a cop show spoof, but the lead plays it dead straight. Quite funny in bits, amusing through most of it and keeps you entertained for its near 2 hour length. Probably a bit better than just a 3.
Matthew B.
says
Very funny, well made film with laugh out loud moments. Try to find Cate Blanchett in an uncredited cameo!
Catherine M.
says
Can't believe that I watched this move but I loved it. In fact we watched it twice!
James E.
says
Jane A.
says
Loved it
Katie W.
says
Took a while to get into but it was worth watching in the end.
Peter D.
says
it isn't funny, its just very corny. i hope i don't see any more of this type.
Ursula S.
says
Barbara S.
says
Elena S.
says
Borrowed mainly for hubby but much better than I expected. Good humour and my husband loved action scenes.
Danielle Z.
says
Hilarious!
Jeff D.
says
my brother and i had a bet for how long my father would get through this movie before switching it off for all the violence and swearing as he is not big on either of these things. i bet 15 minutes, my brother was 25 minutes. My father got all the way through the film and loved it all.
Speaks for itself...
...If you like any other movie like Shaun of the dead or run, fatboy run - you will love this hilarious psudo-horror flic.
Elizabeth M.
says
Very entertaining. Very hard to match their previous epic "Sean of the Dead". Some very hilarious moments.
Michelle R.
says
Brooke H.
says
Absolutly F---ing Brilliant!!!! Even better than Shawn of the Dead!!!!!!
Can't wait to see more from these guys!!!!!!
Nicky P.
says
I hated this movie. I loved Sean of the Dead but was greatly disappointed by this one.
Nathan K.
says
Unlike most people I was a little let down by this movie. I think the best part is what you see in the trailer. It tries to mix comedy and action thriller and ends up doing one or the other rather averagely. I don’t know I just don’t like it when a movie changes genre half way through. Don’t want to come across as a grouch but it didn’t live up to what I was expecting.
Karen B.
says
An absolute hoot. Plot revolves around an over-achieving London cop sent to the boonies for making the rest of the force look bad. Simon Pegg is excellent.
Matt T.
says
Good fun. I didn't think I was going to like this one, but I finally gave up and enjoyed it for what it is when the village mayhem started.
Sharon K.
says
Excellent movie very funny
Cliiford G.
says
great comedy lots of laughs in this movie
Chris T.
says
Definitely worth a watch. Kept me laughing, interesting story.
Samantha H.
says
not that interesting
Angela W.
says
Funniest movie, bit of swearing & blood and gust though, not really my thing, but really good movie overall
Brian M.
says
A bit of fun. Some great old time British actors-Edward Woodward, Billie Whitelaw and some current greats-Bill Nighy and Jim Broadbent are in it. I didn't find it side splittingly funny but I enjoyed it, though it's not as good as Shaun of the Dead.
Janet W.
says
I thought it started off ok and a bit funny but it soon went down hill from there. A load of Hollywood rubbish comes to a quiet English village. Not even worth one star.
Jean S.
says
I know it was a send up, but I really thought it was rubbish.
Tracey K.
says
This is excellent. Very funny, not at all what I expected. Well worth seeing.
Deb U.
says
Another movie that i just had to keep watching till the end to find out what happened but i can't say that i really enjoyed it.
Matt B.
says
A M.
says
Brainless rubbish.
Michael O.
says
Emma R.
says
The movie takes a sudden change in direction about half way through but somehow the consistent humour holds the whole thing together, even when the plot seems to be heading down the gurgler.
Dee L.
says
what a great little film a good laugh plenty of acion a twist at the end what more could you want Excellent British film
Sofia S.
says
Very funny! Laugh out loud type of movie!

A better title would have been HOT FIZZLE! Enough said!
Penny T.
says
Loved this movie. Lovely dry very very funny humour - taking off numerous cop shows and who dunnits - and what a cast! Simon is wonderful with his dead pan face and such a supporting cast - wow.
Well worth watching
Shane M.
says
Top movie, lotsa laughs and action, great sendup of the British Police, smalltown life and all those buddy movies.
Karen M.
says
Unexpectedly funny, though a bit gruesome.
Samadhi T.
says
very good and funny
Dane H.
says
Was slow to start, even with a few of the best one-liners ever, but the second half of the movie is painfully funny!!!
Tracy G.
says
Fabulous fun
Mary Anne M.
says
Gregory T.
says
Great Movie.
Good story line and easy to watch
David McLoughlin
says
Because Quickflix reserve the right to edit and/or amend submitted reviews, a customer cannot trust that a review(?) they read is the work of another customer. A pity really as it would have otherwise been a useful tool
David M.
says
HOT FIZ. This movie started out like a funny well paced English comedy...anf then Quentin Tarantino came in and made it look like they just had to use more bullets, guns and effects.
Steve A.
says
A funny "ripoff" movie.
Elizabeth D.
says
Michelle W.
says
A bit slow in the beginning and slightly oddball but still funny.
Peng G.
says
Ruth C.
says
Gina T.

Henk H.

Some laughs but not worth sitting through the whole movie for. Very mundane and dissappointing.
Ernie N.
says
Not what I expexted,but still watched it...
Tracey F.
says
My Hubby and I thought this was an English version of an American Action Comedy - we thought it was so stupid that it was funny and we could not stop laughing - we have recommended to friends though. A good laugh.
David O.
says
Funniest movie of 2007
Raymond G.

I am not sure what I was expecting but it certainly was not this load of UTTER RUBBISH

Neilo

The team that has brought us such classics as Black Books and Spaced on the small screen, gave us Shaun of the Dead and now Hot Fuzz on the big screen. Once again they deliver with insightful and tounge-in-cheek fun which has you laughing out loud. As usual you will find subtle references to other movies while poking fun at the Hollywood script 'machine'. Brilliant! I can't wait for the next installment.
Siobhan W.
says
Must admit to not partaking of this film but the family thoroughly enjoyed it, really "cracked" them up, they were in fits of laughter for a great deal of the movie I was informed.
Adam
says
Fantastic movie, if you don't mind a little graphic violence. I loved the camerawork especially.
Terence B.
says
Enjoyable but not all that wonderful.
Betsy F.
says
Silly but fun!
Hilton S.
says
Joe L.
says
Hot fun!
Brian R.
says
Too far fetched.
Sarah C.
says
I could watch this one every day and still laugh out loud right through. Top-notch cast with brilliant performances.
Colin Y.
says
Really enjoyed the humour in this movie. It was a little slow to start, but once started, it's excellent. Some classic one-liners. Loved it.
Daniel M.
says
great movie, very funny & light hearted
Anthony R.
says
Taryn T.
says
Funnier than I thought it would be.
Dominic D.
says
Non typical cop movie, very funny with a look at small town England in a new light. Well worth a look!
Frank R.
says
Very funny movie.
Ian G.
says
Excellent show with lots of laughs. Very entertaining.
Sophie G.
says
Hilarious. If you like your humour a little black, this is the movie for you.
Karen H.
says
I found this movie both funny and entertaining. I would reccomend this to anyone that needs a good laugh.
TomMo
says
Funny and action, with a few horror picstures thrown in for good measure. Something different and worth watching!
jojo
says
hong kong style funny cop movie transferred to england!
Scott P.
says
Loved this movie. The slap-stick humour reminiscent of Shaun of the Dead. If you want a laugh this is the movie for you.
Debra
says
We found this movie to be a great piece of entertainment. It was very funny in places and just the right mix of intrigue with lots of gun play mixed in with good one liners. All up it was a movie to sit down and enjoy with friends and family and enjoy a great night in.
techdog
says
I like British comedy, but did not find this movie humourous. Slow and boring to start with and did not get much better until the action scenes at the end. Not worth watching again.
Gilbert W.
says
Hilarious spoof of every cop show you ever saw from The Bill to Die Hard.Well done.
Samantha W.
says
Not my cup of tea to honest ...
Sandra B.
says
Sometimes funny, sometimes serious, really unusual movie but very good.
Lauren B.
says
Not bad. Wouldn't watch it again though.
Nick B.
says
It was a Very good movie, and i enjoyed it, it reminded me of "Shawn Of The Dead"
4/5 Good Movie
Helen D.
says
What a great laugh!!! Quirky and fun!!
Chris R.
says
If Simon Pegg or Nicholas Frost are in it you're gonna laugh.There is nothing negative here. It's smart and funny and silly. It's a great way to spend 90 minutes. Really, really, really, really good.
Judith V.
says
a good laugh
curls
says
Another great brirish drama , if you like trainspotting, acid house, thefull monty or brassed off . You will love this movie , a fast paced thrill a minute movie and a great story line . rent it now !!
Sue J.
says
Seemed very promising at the start, but very quickly became tiresome. An over-the-top slapstick style was established firmly at the start then seemed to have nowhere else to go. It lacked the subtlety and nuance we'd normally expect from British comedy.
Brendan K.
says
The movie may start off a little dull, but the finale is definitely worth sticking around for! If you're an action movie fan, the finale hits just about every action movie cliche there is.
Kerrie D.
says
Interesting movie, effects come across as less than fake. Predictable.
Dianne P.
says
Sorry I did not enjoy that at all. However, my husband, brother in law and nephew did, so I just supplied nibbles and drinks.
Norman G.
says
Very funny a cross between heart beat and bad boys great comedy action if you liked their style in S. of the Dead you will really love this one. The last 25 minutes is out of control with action. Great extras as well.
Amalia M.
says
A little slow to begin but eventually action picked up.A little gory in some scenes
John D.
says
Jodi S.
says
This movie is a crack!! I laughed all the way through. The politically incorrect female cop is the best!
Renee R.
says
Deon F.
says
Excellent. Very Funny and a nice change from Hollywood humour.
Jane P.
says
Lots of fun - some laugh-out-loud moments. I may have been expecting too much of this one, but still well worth watching.
Kev
says
I watched this movie on the recommendation of my children ( both over 20), but really I can't say I enjoyed it. There is some funny moments, but the storyline is too ridiculous.
Adora C.
says
Worth watching. Thoroughly enjoyed it
smeggers
says
Another highly entertaining and hilarious movie from some comic masters. Terrific cast too.
brodie
says
Fantastic 'fish out of water' comedy that both celebrates and subverts action movie cliches. The humour is dry but should appeal to most Australians, especially those familiar with the various action/buddy cop movies it pays tribute to. However, the highlights are the bonus materials - particularly 'Hot funk' (made for TV, no swearing), the director's cut trailer, and the options during the film, such as 'fuzz facts' and commentaries . A must see.
Jodie N.
says
This I enjoyed immensely. Well worth the effort
Lisa S.
says
Sharmaine K.

Carmen H.

started off okay for about the first 20 minutes, but then got stupid and i was thoroughly bored. didn't even bother to watch the ending, by the time they get to the shoot out in town i had had enough.
Betty K.
says
Pam T.
says
Not what I had expected, but better once I understood it was a very clever take-off. Enjoyable, but need a particular sense of humour to fully appreciate.
Louise H.
says
hilarious spoof with a kick
Dennis B.
says
Patricia B.
says
This movie (Hot Fuzz) was definately not worth the effort
Maramay S.
says
Excellent movie - hilarous homage to both "The Bill" and just about every action movie cliche to come out of Hollywood in the last 15 years. High recommended.
Roslyn I.
says
Roslyn I.

Great
Kevin D.
says
Excellent comedy but flat in parts while the story caught up with the action - very good filmic references
Dan S.
says
I really enjoyed this one. Don't know what I was expecting this movie to be, but I was quite suprised with the way it played out. There are some really gresome effects in this flic, which is odd for a comedy. Overall - funny, clever and thouroughly entertaining.
Krista F.
says
Refreshing comedy, gotta love an old lady with a gun!
ozallens
says
I didn't find it as funny as Sean of the Dead (nor as gorey thank God), but I do like this comedy duo. Worth a watch.
Harry N.

dont expect to much and enjoy the movie
Simon E.
says
Shona W.
says
Raymond N.

This movie is hilarious. Highly recommend.
Doug H.

Colin W.

certainly a different look at a policeman,once you realised it was a comedy i found it to be quite good
Cindy B.
says
JB
says
Very funny film
Clare B.
says
This was a bit of light laughs. Better than some, not as good as others. The bloopers section was pretty funny
Deborah H.
says
This started off slow, got a tiny BIT better, then lapsed into a ridiculously long shoot-em-up that really lost me long before the lame ending. I found it an utter waste of time.
Lee
says
Lots of 'one liners'. Must listen carefully to catch them all.
Piya A.
says
Jessica G.
says
Funny full stop.
Elaine G.
says
Tung in cheek Funny Movie
Jarrod T.
says
Really funny, some great one liners. At times it appeared the editor had something to prove with the amount of scene changes, but a great laugh...
Elizabeth H.
says
Didn't enjoy it. Expected better of a British comedy than American slapstick.
Rhiannon G.
says
Not as good as Shaun of the Dead, but still amusing - I still love those guys.
Slightly too long though.
Bob S.
says
Michael C.
says
Tom H.

Trent H.
says
Hard to follow Sean of The Dead, but the team that brought us that classic have an interesting spin on Police work in a movie with some interesting cameos.
It was worth a few laughs and the DVD extras were really, really funny stuff!
I probably expected more after Sean of the Dead or I would have rated it higher.
Andrew H.
says
Very British and very funny. It loses the plot a little bit about 2/3 of the way through, but comes back to form with a fine shoot out!
Jean S.
says
you need to understand our english humour to brighten your day
strawb
says
Started off okay and i thought this is something different but then the plot took a dowturn and became farsical and not the norm for British comedy with very little to laugh at, disappointing to say the least.
Mark T.
says
boring.
a few laughs.
way way way too long.
waste of time
Aliceanne H.
says
Jodi M.

Janice W.

Something different, we liked it.
JM
says
Sick English humour. If you're into it, you'll get a few laugh-out-loud moments from this one.
Jacqueline I.
says
Quite good fun in parts but overall very silly - would suit the teenage market
Meredith L.
says
Very good, funny, excellent English comedy with a touch of drama and adventure along the way!!
Nick S.
says
hilarious movie, these two from shaun of the dead are brillant together
Eric H.
says
I liked it; intentionally over the top and never takes itself too seriously. Good light-hearted action flick.
Terry K.
says
be carefull or you'l piss your pants laughing
blacky
says
funniest buddy/cop film i,ve seen for ages, great to see some old english talent being put to good use here, especially billie whitelaw whom i fondly remember from the original omen (she was the evil nanny mrs baylock).
the humour between the two lead actors is terrific + i love the way the film pays homage to some earlier films like dirty harry and some of sergio leone,s westerns, the gore is first class that scene below the church tower is a classic, and the final shoot-out is fantastic. if you like funny fast action films you,ll love this one.
TIP. if you click on the "fuzz-facts" icon on the bonus features screen, the movie will play with interesting behind the scenes facts running at the bottom of your screen.
Leslie W.

Dianne A.
says
This overly long film could have been brilliant. The lines blurred between 'black comedy' and a send up of the American 'shoot-em-up, blow-em-up' movies. One or the other would have sufficed. It became too OTT for me. Better luck next time.
erin r
says
This movie is just as awesome as Shawn of the Dead. It is a must for any collection!!
Lyneve C.
says
This one was really different! A terrific mix of what the Brits do best - black humour and who done its!

This one grows on you, gradually getting better as the story unfolds, with punch lines hitting you from jokes set up earlier. When it was suggested an appreciation of English humour was needed was expecting (and hoping for the warped comedy of Big Train or League of Gentleman) but it's more subtle along the lines of Sean of the Dead.

Definitely different to what I expected. Good for a laugh in places - it's not Emmy Award winning entertainment but nice light viewing.
Fiona H.
says
Very entertaining film - some great movie references - and even a cameo from Cate Blanchett!
Craig Hill
says
Very good.A bit gory in parts so be careful with the kids but on the whole very entertaining.

This movie was well acted, directed and filmed and is NOT to be taken seriously at any time! You have to appreciate it's unique sense of humour. The movie started and finished well but got a bit slow in the middle.
Noel K.
says
I guess comedy is a personal thing, but this was just boring.
Paul D.
says
Very funny, great twists, far better than I thought it would be. Look forward to seeing more of these guys
Jennie F.
says
Loved it. Total nonsense of course but so funny.
Cesar M.
says
Wasn't what I expected.
Troy C.
says
Loved it - good twists at the end leaves you wondering who did it
Jesse W.
says
A funny action/cop movie. Could have been shorter though.
Evan M.
says
Everything that happens in this movie is just stupid, funny yes. But eventually you'll get bored of the stupidity and want to turn it off
M. A
says
Liked the way it used scenes from well known movies throughout - quite amusing.
Deb P.
says
Didnt think it was very good and didnt bother watching the end.

One of the best dvds released this year. Very witty, entertaining and funny!!!
Nick T.
says
fantastic movie, complete take off but excellent
JT
says
Finally a film which makes fun of every action film cliche possible.
Big thumbs up for using the Equalizer, James Bond and Belloq (Raiders of the Lost Ark) in a single film!
Nicholas F.
says
Not as good as Shaun of the Dead
Bruce B.
says
lots of gore but funny
Victor D.
says
Hardly raised a smile let alone a laugh.
Katrina L.
says
Predictable and silly, but not to be missed. Many clever one-liners that you'll miss if you blink. Worth watching just for the the out-takes in the special features!
Shauna T.
says
Good for a laugh, and a who done it muder mystery!
Marie D.
says
I laughed from start to almost finish. A bit near the end of the story where I thought it had gone haywire, but then it turned around and was the biggest laugh my husband and I had had in ages. Yes, yes, yes, a GREAT movie.
M Gavin M.
says
Has its moments - a bit 1 dimensional
Paul G.
says
Comedy as only the Poms can do, Very Very Funny.
Marg O.
says
Absolutely loved it- police spoof with many laugh out loud moments. Gag reel is a hoot too.
Tim B.
says
I rented this movie expecting a comedy, but there's a dark side to the movie too. I thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it.
Anne G.
says
Laughed till I cried. This movie is awesome!
Jennifer B.
says
I don't think this was as good as Shaun of the Dead. I did enjoy the ending the best. Lots of blood etc and violence.
Dawn S.
says
Thoroughly entertaining. Excellent twists and turns. Make sure you watch the TV version in extras.
Amy M.
says
Brilliant humor and entertaining characters. I'm from America and "Angel" reminded me of Barney Fife, and overdiligent small town police officer parodied in a 60's sitcom.
Ana C.
says
A London police officer is transferred to a quiet village in England for no other reason than he is showing up the rest of the force because of his dedication to his job and his excellent track record. In his new job he finds it hard to relax his strict views on how the law should be administered to a village where nothing ever happens and this is were the fun begins.While not a comedy for the faint of heart, this is a very funny movie and shows once again how the English are truly masters of comedy.
Dominique R.
says
Light hearted and funny. Worth a watch.
Jennifer B.
says
Not as good as Shaun of the Dead. A little slow but picked up really well towards the end. Still a good watch though.
matt W.
says
bloody funny
Ron F.
says
Didn't really understand it all. Some may find it Ok but I didn't
Marla N.
says
good movie
Walter B.
says
Occasional laughs deteriorating in an overlong movie to boredom needs at least 30min edited out -
Janice S.
says
Great English comedy. Bazaar but believable and totally mad. Laugh a minute if you appreciate English humour.
Kevin S.
says
A great tongue in cheek action flick with very clever direction and sizzling English witt.
sonab
says
Simon Pegg plays an outstanding role as the "top cop" in London who is an embarrasment to his superiors because he has such a fantastic record and commendations that he gets transferred to a small country town where he proceeds to upset the locals. A typically great British comedy well worth the watch
John S.
says
good for bit of a laugh
John L.
says
Great English comedy.Shows the yanks how to do it. All original not a copy from some other country
Niall
says
PC Nick Angel, the best MET Policeman in London is send to Sandford, a quite, quaint sleepy village, on promotion, against his wishes. Sandford holds a terrible secret that Sgt Angel and his offsider, Dave stumble upon, implicating the key players of the town in murder and plenty of them. Very gory movie but also some laughs along the way.
Peter G.
says
funny as hell. better than Sean Dead!
Vicki L.
says
A brilliant comedic British movie with a sort of horror storyline. You have to see this!
