Hot Fuzz —
The honest cop, a deadly showdown, a mysterious conspiracy, with gun blazing, car chases, and a missing swan? Those 're thing ye can only see on Hot Fuzz.
Plot: When Sargent Nicholes Angel(Simon Pegg), is best of what he do, on the London police force. They transfer him, to the country, of the town of Sanford. Where he notice there's no crime , that everything is peaceful, like a cup of tea. That not even the police are the top of the best. So they assign him with a partner Danny(Nick Frost) who's a action aficionado. But when the peacefulness is stop by a series of Murder, Is up to the best to solve the mystery, and show the decent town that there's a new sheriff in town.
Some body have been watching, a lot of john Woo, Michael Mann, an Michael Bay films. Is the best homage to the Classic action films. The jokes are plain good, and simple, like the crossword puzzle of the hotel, is classic, And thank you for making fun of the senior citizen. This show that the British can make fun of any genre(well if made by this guys). Now the action, are some top notch, that would make Robert Rodriguez proud.
I mean, where ye gonna see a man hitting and old lady . The dialog, that only would make Mr. Governator crap to the bathroom. The best Line are given by non other than Nick Frost. That would make any sidekick forget to take off the safety of their gun. The camera work, is the way that only Michael bay can do. there even some kung fu shot. That make the director receive and Oscar for best action by the best action Asian director guy, Mr. John Woo. The insert are pure magic. That go well in this movie.
In conclusion, there's nothing original on the story, but the jokes and the action, is like any other could pee on. Like say before the best homage to any action movie ever made. Plus it got a tall bald bad guy that only say gargh. Now there something to laugh up.
