I just watched the movie Hot Fuzz. Absolutely recommended.
It’s a kind of police comedy, but with an action element. It’s difficult to relate to any movie I can recall.
Basically, a London cop named Nick Angel is an exceedingly good performer. So good in fact that his superiors intend to transfer him to suburbia to keep him from showing them up. The bulk of the movie is about Nick’s transitional experience from police special forces into the street beat of this peaceful little town, and the murderous happenings that nobody believes is actually taking place.
Ok, that description sounds really lame, but I can’t give away the movie, can I?
It’s funny, but not “Naked Gun” funny. It’s actually a rare breed of mixed humor and action that I think has been missing from cinema for quite some time. One caveat: Kind of bloody. Just a tad.
If you get the chance, definitely check it out.
