Diogo R It's an energetic action/comedy with great satire and one of the best cop duos ever, that despite the huge amount of plot armor, still keeps you on the edge of your seat in the third act. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Evan B This is my favorite movie ever, with a darkly comedic buddy-cop feel with just a hint of slasher in the mix. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Jay W "Hot Fuzz" reunites the combo of writer/director Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Coming out after "Shaun of the Dead" but before "The Worlds End", this is seen as the second entry in the "Cornetto Trilogy". The comedy stylings are very unique to this combination of talent. Edgar Wright uses a series of quick cuts, witty dialogue and over the top visuals to provide his audience with consistent laughs. The movie glamourizes so much of the remedial paperwork and day to day grind of police work that it gives the movie a good energy and a tight pace. Despite relatively little happening for stretches, the movie never drags and moves along a mile a minute. It is all acted very well. Minor characters are able to stand out with limited screen time. Nick Frost and Simon Pegg have terrific on-screen chemistry. The storyline can be mysterious, funny and action packed when it needs. My one downside would be on the action standpoint. Don't get me wrong, when this movie goes in on the action, it is no holds bar, some great funny stuff. But, where the quick edits can help sell the joke in the more trivial moments, that same quick cutting hurts the action scenes. It feels like it was meant to be spoofing the big action movies of the time. Stuff like "Bourne: Ultimatum" has a ton of cuts in the action. But the jokes here would have worked so much better if they would have set the camera up to film them in a longer take. But with that nitpick aside, I can highly recommend this movie. This film isn't just good, it is a greater good. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/26/24 Full Review Carson P It’s reminds me of a Michael bay wannabe movie but one that has the hilarious qualities of his bad boys films. Simon pegg and nick frost are terrific in their police detective roles and give chemistry that is just as good as that of will smith and Martin Lawrence I love how they solve a mystery of who is behind all these killings and people who have gone corrupt into believing something cruel is right while it isn’t the villlain played by one of the James Bond’s Timothy dalton is also great and nice addition with the likes of bill nighy, Martin freeman, Jim broadbent, and David Bradley all give great supporting performance and add to that an uncredited cameo from Peter Jackson god bless the cast and crew makers of this film. Hot fuzz is violent and gruesome in an intentional way and I loved every second watching it. I’m sure though Michael bay’s style of action and comedy influenced the director to make this movie so I kind of have to compliment him for that while praising Edgar weight for directing this film he must be a big fan of bay’s this is what you call popcorn fun that has some brain cells and understanding of over the top humor it’s a blast 9/10 Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Christian L Hilarious and fun! Such a great homage to films through all of their references. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review John T The best film of the cornetto trilogy.
