In this action-packed comedy from the makers of "Shaun of the Dead," Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is the finest police officer 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. A small village is about to get some big city justice. (Rogue Pictures)

One of the most intricately plotted and impeccably structured comedies since Back to the Future. Seriously, the sheer number of clever setups and payoffs throughout the movie is insane. That it's also action-packed and hilarious - often simultaneously - is just icing on the cake.

I love over-the-top action movies with something special to them. An over-the-top action movie that is also hilariously satirizes it's own genre? Completely and utterly sold! I found it even better than Shaun of the Dead.

Outstanding action comedy that manages to work as an over-the-top blockbuster while lovingly lampooning them at the same time. It really stands up to repeat viewings, because the jokes are hilarious, and there is no wasted dialog in the entire movie -- every word serves to set something up for later: it's very economic storytelling that you don't really notice until you see it a few times. The cast is terrific all the way through, especially Timothy Dalton. I find it impossible not to love this.

Spoof/parody movies are hit and miss for me. Hot Fuzz is a total hit. God damn, I had a constant smile on my face from the goofy opening montage to the ridiculous ending shootout. You would truly have to be on your toes to catch even half of the references and freeze frame gags in this movie. I got quite a few, but I'm sure I missed twice as many. Lots of great characters and cameos here. I particularly liked Timothy Dalton and the insufferable smirk he wears throughout.

Edgar Wright’s ingenious blend of British chiller and American action blockbuster is a comedy masterclass; the combination of brilliant dialogue, homage, pastiche and slapstick, punctuated by his unique editing style and eye for tiny details, permits endless, laugh-filled re-watches. Pegg and Frost as a double act excel like never before or since.

It's no surprise that the team of Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright have crafted a follow-up to Shaun of the Dead that's just as giddily engaging as their comic zombie romp. It is, however, a little startling to discover how good Pegg is at playing a wildly different character than his layabout hero Shaun. The screenplay is wonderfully constructed with sly details paying off beautifully in a third act that expertly mocks Hollywood action movies while gleefully reveling in their excess.

Hot damn, this is jam-packed full of all the riotous comedy and insane action sequences you could ever want in one movie, with the clever whiplash editing cinching it up together with the surprising whodunit plot into a compact water balloon of explosive fun to smash in your face. The sleepy yet secretly sinister small town setting is executed to perfection thanks to a great supporting cast and Pegg and Frost are a highly enjoyable odd couple at the forefront. Marvelously scripted throughout.

Does for cop action movies what Shaun of the Dead did for zombie movies. I realize that's the most unoriginal thing you can possibly say about Hot Fuzz, but hey, it's true. It's a lively spoof, but one done with obvious love for the genre. The gags are very clever and really funny, loaded with references to other movies (including many I probably didn't recognize). Great cast and hilarious characters. I do wish there could have been more Stephen Merchant and Steve Coogan, though.

One of the more entertaining movies I've seen. Not only is it well-written and quite funny, but it has some of the most kick-ass action you could ask for in the last act. Even more entertaining on repeat viewings as you pick up on little extra bits that are real funny. Only real complaints is that it ran a bit long and there was a bit too much horror movie feel instead of buddy-cop/action (which it's supposed to be an homage to) leading up to the big reveal. Still great.

One of the most intricately detailed, perfectly paced, and impeccably crafted films I've ever seen, "Hot Fuzz" is not only one of my favourite films of all time, but possibly one of the best, making every right directorial choice imaginable, and keeping the innumerable spinning cogs that make up its inner workings running to perfection, until the films all out, balls-to-the-walls insane finale. Hilarious, engrossing, and thoroughly unmissable entertainment.

I'm telling you, Edgar Wright is a freakin' genius! Hot Fuzz is much like his first work, Shaun of the Dead, so there's plenty of humor, good acting and chemistry from Pegg and Frost, a good screenplay that manages to surprise you at times, and, of course, a really talented direction from Wright himself! This is probably my favorite from him, seeing as it's consistently surprising, funny, serious, and mysterious all at once without getting uneven. Really well acted and written.

The type of movie that merits repeat viewings because of how intricately each joke is told. There are some great visual gags, but most of the payoff comes from the build up of breadcrumbs left along the way. I'm not really the type of person who laughs out-loud at movies, but the humor of it sticks with me in a warm and subtle way.

It you loved Shaun of the Dead you'll love this. - However I'm in that traditionalist school that likes a comedy to be funny and a plot (even when absurd) to have a thread - so disliked both. This doesn't require suspension of disbelief ..more like a labotomy. Banal and totally unfunny ... practically peurile in every way.

I think the problem with Hot Fuzz is that, like Shaun of the Dead, it has stylish quick editing, but it doesn't have a pace that suits it, unlike Shaun of the Dead. Definite pacing problems here and the editing is really out of place on this one. As well, the action scenes aren't well directed, so either Wright got better for Scott Pilgrim or he had help, because those action scenes were stronger. A strong effort, funny, but still a bit of a sophomore slump. Score is not a grade.

Buddy cop flick (e.g. Bad Boys, Point Break, etc.) meets The Wicker Man. Some of the quick editing is a bit jarring (albeit intentionally) and overall I enjoyed the "romzomcom" of Shaun of the Dead more, but this is good fun.

This was amusing, and occasionally laugh out loud funny. I appreciated the chemistry from the two leads, along with the overall commitment to zaniness. That said, films that rely heavily on references to other films need to do something with those references, rather than just make them. Further, I really dislike characters going "meta" and commenting on the spoof as they go through the film. That's an insulated form of comedy that doesn't really have any staying power.

Started off a bit bland, but soon evolved into a mix of Shaun of the Dead, an actually good version of 2001 Maniacs and a white man's Bad Boys II. Suffice to say, it was great. Still liked Shaun of the Dead better though.. It's even less subtle than that film and it's not as funny. Still, Pegg & Frost are a match made in heaven, and the cast is great beside them as well. This film stars TWO of Bill Bailey. Come on. Shit just got real!

Brilliant satire tailor-made for people who love cop movies. If you're used to watching boatloads of them, you can actually take this one seriously and it's still better than most. At the same time, I'm endlessly impressed by the comic creativity--the model town, the crossword jokes, "crusty jugglers"--I don't know how they came up with it all. Dalton and the two leads get all the praise for their performances, but everyone is spot-on. Really masterfully done, despite the veneer of silliness.

With the first half of the film being a captivating mystery thriller, then switching it up for the second half as one of the most exciting action and gun play I've seen in any film, there's something here for everyone. Top it all off with witty jokes executed by even wittier actors and you've got yourself a fantastic movie.

When the third act reveal rolled around, I was afraid that the movie was gonna lose me, and it did take a few beats before it won me back, but it won me back in style. This is a textbook study of "comedy-as-exposition", which I think few teams have really perfected as much as Wright/Pegg. Also bonus points for brilliant use of Timothy Dalton, that man is really underappreciated.

Unexpected story is exciting and very unusual. It is about an overachieving European policeman reassigned to the country because he is too efficient and makes all the other cops look bad. Funny stuff. Many subtle details in this movie help fuel a hilarity until it goes pretty far into the absurd. You never quite know what's coming next as the story takes frequent twists and goes places never before explored.

The gang has done it again. What could have been a quick cash-in on the seemingly permanent stagnation of the buddy cop/Michael Bay action-o-rama genres is instead earnest, heart-felt (?) and frantically awesome. Notable for (arguably) Timothy Dalton's best performance, as well as his role in a classic sight-gag. The editing is tight, the script is hilarious, the performances are spot-on. Worth every penny.

Tries to fit every unfunny joke from every mediocre comedy into a single, awful plot. Great job I guess.

Once again, I have to acknowledge the editing . It's faster and much funnier than Wilder's "1,2,3", and that's saying a lot. [edit] My only problem is that (along with "Scott Pilgrim") the focus on creativity in action and comedy sequences overshadows the character invlovement, and when I say this about a film featuring the team Pegg-Frost something is terribly wrong.

It subverts the cop movie cliches that it's parodying, then turns around and outdoes all of them anyway. Fantastic.

Edgar Wright brilliantly deconstructs the buddy cop movie exactly the same way he did the zombie film (and rom-com) in Shaun of the Dead. This movie tosses out Bruckheimer cliches and zippy one-liners like they were candy, and never lets up for a second. THIS is how you do a parody.

Incredibly entertaining and hilarious. Proves that Nick Frost is an important part of the duo, and features one hell of a final half hour.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have done it again in this hilarious mockery of over the top action movies.

I will never turn down watching this movie. Good soundtrack, the style matches 'big city' crime movies perfectly.

A lot of thought and care was put into this. The satirical elements are quite funny but hard to notice. Plot drags a little towards the end of the second act, but has one of the best climaxes ever filmed. Big recommendation.

Some really good parody going on here. I love the final gunfight, just plain hilarious and cool.

I like everything these guys have done...except this movie. I just didn't get it. Was it funny? Was it gory? Was it serious? What was it?

It makes a good contrast to Shaun just because it gets funnier towards the end. Less subtle humor than the first half, maybe, but if you're not laughing by the time a farmer's mum is getting kicked in the face, I'm not sure if you'll ever laugh again. The supporting cast really makes it work.

Simon Pegg & Timothy Dalton deliver the strongest here amidst a nearly flawless cast [Paddy Considine? hell yes]. It drags ever-so-slightly in the middle but comes out more than strong for the finale. Hilarious send-up of another genre for the Pegg/Wright team, even if it's not exactly on the same level as Shaun.

The boys of Shaun of The Dead do it again, but this time with cop films. My only quibble with the film was the gore -it was actually gorier than Shaun of the Dead(!), which I didn't think was necessary when spoofing this genre.

One hell of a sharp movie. Its rapid-fire rhythm and leading duo are just so much damn fun.
