Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

MC Paolo This is a decent comedy/action film with some funny moments, but it does feel a bit long and the jokes get old after a while. Not nearly as good as Shaun of the Dead but still worth a watch if you're a big fan of his other movies.

henrypaulmerklein Hot Fuzz provides the excitement and sunglass wearing coolness that an explosion fest should provide.

classicsoncall By the Power of Gray Skull! - this film was a blast! I don't go in much for slapstick, but this picture was more that that. It's a finely directed and acted send-up parody of American cop movies, and the homages are both obvious and subtle. Danny Butterman's (Nick Frost) repeated mentions of "Point Break" and "Bad Boys II" are the most blatant examples, but there was that one scene with the bear trap that was straight out of "Straw Dogs". There's both the original English version and the American remake, and either one works, but "Hot Fuzz" is a British film after all. What's kind of interesting about the story is that it was actually a pretty good murder mystery if you were to remove the comic elements, but then I would ask, why would you want to? Simon Pegg and Nick Frost aren't necessarily hilarious per se, but the situations they find themselves in produce so many clever and funny scenes that it's impossible not to bust a gut. To quote an earlier collaboration between Pegg, Frost and director Edgar Wright in "Shaun of the Dead", the trio came up with another slice of fried gold. So if you want to meet 'the cop that can't be stopped', you have to grab a copy of "Hot Fuzz" right off and treat yourself to a good time. The only thing I wish the film makers would have expanded on was the bit about the Living Statue. That had a lot of potential but came to an abrupt end with all the other victims of the Neighborhood Watch Alliance. But if that's the only spot of bother I can come up with, you have to know I had a good time with this flick. I think you will too.

gordonroad-62850 This is one way to top Shaun of the Dead.For pure entertainment value this film is pure gold with how it spoofs every trope of the action genre in hilarious ways. It's paced at such a breakneck speed with quick-fire editing to compliment it, that there is never a dull moment. The fact that such a over the top story takes place in a rural town in Gloucestershire makes it all the more satisfying.Simon Pegg plays the character of Nicholas Angel extremely well with how he is such a focused hard-line professional that always sticks to the rules, which is juxtaposed by Nick Frost's Danny Butterman who is more laidback. Their dynamic of the straight guy playing off the funny man works very well and provides for much of the humour. Speaking of humour, it is quite simply fantastic and had me laughing throughout. All the wordplay is superb while the slapstick is also on point. Edgar Wright has made a fantastic film which should be considered as the pinnacle of parody filmmaking.
