Hot Fuzz (2007)
Country: GB/FR
Technical: col/2.35:1 121m
Director: Edgar Wright
Cast: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Martin Freeman, Bill Nighy, Steve Coogan, Billie Whitelaw, Jim Broadbent, Kenneth Cranham, Timothy Dalton, Paddy Considine, Edward Woodward, Paul Freeman, Stuart Wilson, David Threlfall, Lucy Punch
Synopsis:
An exceptional police officer is transferred from the Metropolitan to a village in Gloucestershire because his success rate is too much of an embarrassment, but he finds sleepy old Sandford not quite the sinecure he imagined.
Review:
The outsider scenario (cf. Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis) meets the 'respectable façade hides dark conspiracies' scenario, all tangled up with cop movie nods to American sources as diverse as Bad Boys and Scream. It works surprisingly well thanks to fresh handling, pace and an ocean of national talent.
