Hot Fuzz
(GB/USA/France, 2007, 121 minutes)
A top London police officer whose professionalism makes everyone else look bad is posted to a quiet provincial backwater where a number of grisly accidents make him suspect a killer at work. Hilariously spot-on spoof of high-octane buddy cop movies from the team behind Shaun of the Dead; it could do with a 15-minute trim but is so funny, well observed and well done that you don't really mind the overlength.
Universal Pictures in association with Studio Canal presents a Working Title Films production in association with Big Talk Productions, produced in association with Ingenious Film Partners 2. Starring Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Jim Broadbent, Paddy Considine, Timothy Dalton, Bill Nighy, Billie Whitelaw, Edward Woodward. Directed by Edgar Wright; produced by Nira Park, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner; written by Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg; music by David Arnold; director of photography (colour, widescreen), Jess Hall; production designer, Marcus Rowland; costume designer, Annie Hardinge; film editor, Chris Dickens.
