Critics Consensus

The brilliant minds behind Shaun of the Dead successfully take a shot at the buddy cop genre with Hot Fuzz. The result is a bitingly satiric and hugely entertaining parody.

David Fear

What makes Wright & Co.’s buddy-cop goof so spot-on is that, like their previous take on splatter flicks, the pair share an affection for -- and thorough knowledge of -- cineplex cheese with their film-geek fan base.

"Hot Fuzz is a masterclass in comedy filmmaking, with a razor-sharp script and pitch-perfect performances that keep the laughs rolling."

Deep Focus Review

This is great filmmaking and storytelling that just so happens to allude to other action movies in its construction. And quite frankly, it’s greatly entertaining in both the comedic and action realms, far surpassing its referenced sources.

Rated: 4/4

... the madcap shoot-outs that erupt in the cute little country village... is both a surreal parody of urban action spectacle and seventies TV cop clichés and a marvelous bit of comic action in its own right.

One of the stupidest and most boring movies I've seen in a long time. They try to recreate the gimmicks from Shawn of the Dead, like the quick scene changes, but it doesn't work. Don't waste your time.

A hilarious dive into the workaholic officer Nicholas Angel played by Simon Pegg who befriends the local movie-fan cop Danny Butterman. Hot Fuzz is packed with insanely funny dialogue and scenarios that drive the plot straight into a bucket of candy in the cornetto trilogy.

While I do know its not necessarily supposed to, it could've had a not so predictable story. And the humour is a bit dragged on. Some of the editing is questionable, but most of the cgi, the lighting and camera work are great. Performances are also great, it has a lot of soul and it did made laugh at times even tho i mentioned it can get a bit annoying, like sometimes a joke is ridiculous and it lands but then they have to repeat it or keep digging i guess its a matter of taste after all - the jokes. Good movie

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

I liked it in parts but I didn't like the gory killing scenes I found some bits a bit dark and and creepy I think they could have done better with the story. But I liked some of the film so it wasn't bad.
