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.

  • Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York

    Nervous yet, Hollywood? Better make room for a few more lads.

  • Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch

    Because this culture-clash comedy has real characters, a real story and a real big payoff, the two-hour length is a light sentence.

    A naked parody of cop/action films (and those that love them) what makes this sparkle was done in the editing room where quick cutting and viewpoint shifts are tweaked nigh past instinctively, making even static scenes seem to crackle with import and menace. And hats off to Blazing… More

    Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost; the masterminds behind 'Shaun of The Dead' have done another superb comedy with 'Hot Fuzz'. However, unlike 'Shaun of The Dead', I felt that the over the top gore felt less neccessary for this film. However, this… More

    Although the humor is great, I really didn't care about the plot of this movie. I love it when Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg & Nick Frost work together. They're comedic genieses but I dont think story wise this film had as much to offer as Shawn of the Dead. With that said… More
