Synopsis: Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is the best cop in London. As a "reward", he is transferred to a small countryside town where he will meet quiteness, lazy police officers and apparently good town folks. But could those be only appearences?
Review: After the huge success of Shaun of the Dead, a romantic comedy with zombies, I was glad to see that this second creation by the trio Wright/Frost/Pegg is also original, full of references and very funny. The contrast between the hyperactive officer Angel and the rest of the town people, especially his partner (Frost) is hilarious. The whole movie is shot in this same snappy and efficient style as Shaun...  I love the character played by Nick Frost: he entered the Police force just to follow his dad but in fact he is longing for some action, like in movies like Point Break or Bad Boys II, as he is a big fan of action films and has a vast collection of DVDs at home (well... a bit like me). I remember reading an interview of the director, saying that one of his favorite scenes in action movies is when after two hours of movie in Bad Boys II, you think it is over but the heroes learn that they have to fly to Cuba to rescue their friend! He wanted to stay true to this spirit in Hot Fuzz, but with added (british) comedy.
