Hot Fuzz

Starring: Pegg, Simon and Frost, Nick

Product Description

Nicholas Angle (Simon Pegg) is the finest cop London has to offer. With an arrest record 400% higher than any other officer on the force, he's so good, he makes everyone else look bad. As a result, Angel's superiors send him to a place where his talents won't be quite so embarrassing - the sleepy and seemingly crime-free village of Sandford. Once there, he is partnered with the well-meaning but overeager police officer Danny Butterman (Nick Frost). The son of amiable Police Chief Frank Butterman (Jim Broadbent), Danny is a huge action movie fan and believes his new big-city partner might just be a real-life "bad boy," and his chance to experience the life of gunfights and car chases he so longs for. As a series of grisly accidents rocks the village, Angel is convinced that Sandford is not what it seems and as the intrigue deepens, Danny's dreams of explosive, high-octane, car chasing, gun fighting, all-out action seem more and more like a reality. It's time for these small-town cops to break out some big-city justice.

Midsomer murders on steroids

If you are familiar with the writings of Dave Barry, then you will be very comfortable with this movie. Dave Barry can take something that seems so common and straightforward, then slightly exaggerate and embellish, and expound until you find yourself in a fantasy and wonder how you got there. Constable Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) finds himself to be too perfect; he is rejected by his girlfriend and banished to the small village of Sandford by his police force community. Here, he must adjust to rural life. But is rural life all it seems? Nikolas is becoming suspicious of a series of accidents, and his mind is starting to say murder. Can his newfound friend/coworker, PC Danny Butterman (Nick Frost), squelch this tendency of Nicholas’ to see murder in everything? Or will we be caught up in a necklace's fantasy? I have only seen the Blu-Ray version of this film, so I cannot compare or contrast it to other versions. You guessed it, this presentation has all the standard extra goodies, voice-overs and additions, and whatnots. Naturally, they all enhance your viewing pleasure and do not distract from the original presentation. However, it is the movie we came to see; extra goodies are just icing on the cake, so when you make your choice, don't forget the cake.
