Hot Fuzz

I went into this film with very high expectations, it's the first film that I've been itching to see in 2007 (others include '300' and 'Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World's End'). I'm a big fan of the works of Messrs Pegg & Wright - I've watched 'Spaced' more times than I care to remember and I loved 'Shaun Of The Dead'. (I'll happily admit to watching 'Shaun' at the cinema twice on the first day of its release!)

So, with such high expectations, was I disappointed? No. Although 'Hot Fuzz' lacks 'Shaun’s' brilliance (zom-rom-com), it is still a very enjoyable comedy taking the American action film (guns, cars, big explosions, male bonding) and dropping it in a sleepy English village.

If you've managed to miss the hype for 'Hot Fuzz', this Robert Rodriguez-scored trailer should give you an idea what to expect.

I'm now planning my next viewing of the film...
