Movie nut Edgar Wright made this film a spoof of the 90's cop movies he grew up on. Films like, Heat, Thief, Bad Boys, To Live and Die in LA and of course Point Break.
Wright uses a lot of whip pans, zooms and rapid editing tricks, to reproduce the style of those films. It almost reaches a point where you want to scream "ENOUGH." It really distracts from the comedy aspects of the film. However about 20 minutes into
Hot Fuzz the funny stuff really starts to kick in and I have to admit this film is very funny.
Edgar Wright has a couple of his old buddies as the leads, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. In addition he has filled the remaining cast with lots of British character actors and comedians. Say one thing about Edgar Wright he really knows his actors and that they will deliver the comedic goods for him. This is an extremely enjoyable film.
Written by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg
Running time, 121 minutes.
