What to Know

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 Blender 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. Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Dana Stevens Slate It's such a vibrant goof, so full of love both for the movies and for its cast of ridiculous characters that you forgive it the odd soggy stretch. Aug 18, 2007 Full Review Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine With a fine image and sound transfer and a worthwhile collection of hearty extras, Hot Fuzz is now in the running for the title of DVD of the Year. Jul 19, 2007 Full Review Jack Walters Loud and Clear Reviews "Hot Fuzz is a masterclass in comedy filmmaking, with a razor-sharp script and pitch-perfect performances that keep the laughs rolling." Rated: 4.5/5 Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Mar 8, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... 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.
