Former London constable Nicholas Angel finds it difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford. Not only does he miss the excitement of the big city, but he also has a well-meaning oaf for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
thomasjay-52277 The second instalment in the 'Corentto Trilogy' of loosely connected film this release is absolutely fantastic, focusing on an extremely dedicated police officer Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) as he investigates a conspiracy regarding the town of sandford Edgar Wright's third feature film is brilliant! A spoof upon the cop film genre is absolutely hilarious and shows the directors style in full with the montages, character and just general Wright-ian tropes creating a brisk and hilarious film that possesses endless rewatch value
tuckfinite Somehow the 20 min epic featured within an episode of The Office, was a funnier action movie parody than the 2hr Hot Fuzz. On the other hand the Torrente series, even the later ones, were funnier. 20 min or 10 hrs? Perhaps it isn't really that hard to make fun of Hollywood unless you're pandering and being self indulgent in you're attempt to make fun of pandering and self indulgence. Angel unlike Torrente is the straight arrow and just about everyone else is corrupt and weird. Pegg is playing primarily a straight man. And he's onscreen at least 90% of the time. Does anyone see a problem? Jack Benny was the best straight man ever and he logged less screen time in To Be or Not To Be. Pegg is no Jack Benny.
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.
Majikat The film that has received more viewings from me than any other film. Perhaps being a West Country girl, I love the area of its filming and the over exaggerated dialogue. Simon Pegg is a comedy genius and this is his comedy masterpiece, paired again with Nick Frost, everything has been thrown in to the plot, with plenty of laughs and famous faces.
