Hot Fuzz on HBO (review)


Simon Pegg stars as officer Nicolas Angel. An outstanding police officer in London's Metropolitan Police Service. He was so good even that he out wits every law enforcer in his rank, leaving his colleagues unacknowledged, hence the tension between him and his fellow officers. His superiors later decided to transfer him to small town to avoid conflict. Sanford was a perfect town, with a crime rate of zero for the past 20 years. The perfect town for Sergeant Angel not to get noticed... so everyone thought.

British humor was delivered with utmost timing. It's a bit difficult to understand if you don't fancy British films. Some of the funniest lines were delivered quickly with sarcasm and less drama, so you have to listen attentively.

The relationship between the 2 lead actors develop from seemingly awkward to oddly close. One would notice at first that they are the exact opposite, but gradually builds this bond, and consequently discovering that they are more alike than they think.
If you have a weird fantasy of killing elderly people, im talkin bout blood spattering, bodies blowin all over here. Well this film is for you. i haven't seen the uncensored version yet, but on gruesomeness with the cadavers and on shooting scenes, i give this action-comedy a thumbs up!
