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.

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.

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.

Film Frenzy

An amusing comedy that also manages to evoke memories of The Wicker Man, Plague of the Zombies, and other spooky yarns centering on eccentric villagers inhabiting the less-traveled paths of the British Isles.

Rated: 3/4

One of the best films in the cornetto trilogy. Fast and fun editing, funny and iconic lines, and great actors. Little village setting in Wells makes for a great and fun film :)

Though Hot Fuzz is incredibly funny and cleverly written, it was hard to enjoy due to the extremely fast paced and quite aggressive editing. And the ending overstays it's welcome by quite a bit. I get that the point is that there are no cool action more about British cops, but this would've worked a lot better if it was edited better and on a smaller scale to let the writing and comedy shine.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
