A top London cop who is so good at his job that he makes his fellow officers look like slackers by comparison is "promoted" to serve in the sleepy village of Sandford in this contemporary action comedy from the creators of Shaun of the Dead.

Critic Reviews

  • 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.

  • Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

    Wright and Pegg have topped Shaun of the Dead by trans(atlantic)planting a whole gaggle of genres.

  • Anthony Lane, New Yorker

    The movie duly quickens into pursuits of every speed, and the homage to action thrillers is there in the smallest detail; the clicking of a ballpoint pen, say, is amplified to sound as menacing as the cocking of a gun.

  • Claudia Puig, USA Today

    Though it's no Monty Python, Hot Fuzz is a clever, over-the-top marriage of mayhem and merriment.

  • Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

    What prevents Hot Fuzz from crossing over into already well-travelled Naked Gun territory is the constant bouncing of high-Hollywood style and the timid, teatime setting.

    Hot Fuzz is the best comedy film of 2007. It makes good use of all it's cast members and doesn't over do it with effects and rules in favour of smart scripted comedy, it is probably the best parody film ever made. The comic brilliance of the duo Simon Pegg and Nick Frost has… More

    An ultimately fresh and upbeat film, the gore is used well and isn't OVER used, it's just simply Edgar Wright, who's work never goes unnoticed and this is no exception, everything in the film is linked there is always something to laugh at, in every scene, there's… More

    What can I say, you'll be surprised to hear that I was alittle disappointed to be honest. Yeah it was funny in places but not a riot by any means, the whole idea is so good I just think they wasted the chance to REALLY top it. It starts off really well but gets less funny and too… More
