As a former London constable,
Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) finds if 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 (Nick
Frost) for a partner. However, when a series of grisly
accidents rocks Sandford, Nick smells something rotten
in the idyllic village.

Peter Hartlaub |
"...two hours
long, but plays like a double feature --
starting out as a dry British comedy, then
morphing into an action flick -- and it
succeeds at both."

"Like the
endless rounds in guns that never run out,
the comic ammunition keeps Hot Fuzz
blasting until the last joke falls."

USA Today
Claudia Puig |
"There are some
hilarious one-liners, but the movie might
have been non-stop laughs if it were about
30 minutes shorter."
