HOT FUZZ

Nicholas Angel 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 everybody 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’s partnered with the well-meaning but overeager police officer Danny Butterman. The son of amiable Police Chief Frank Butterman, Danny is a huge action movie fan and belies his new partner is the opportunity to experience a life of gunfights and car chases. His puppy-like enthusiasm only adds to Angel’s growing frustration. Then a series of grisly accidents rock the village. Angel is convinced that Sandford is not what it seems. It’s time for these small-town cops to break out some big-city justice. Hot Fuzz is the action-packed new comedy slasher from writer and actor Simon Pegg and director Edgar Wright, the makers of Shaun of the Dead. With the same razorsharp combination of humour and attention to detail they used to breathe new life into the undead, Pegg & Wright give us their wildly funny and very inventive take on the cop movie. In addition to Simon Pegg himself as Nicholas Angel, Nick Frost ( Shaun of the Dead, Penelope ) as Danny and Jim Broadbent ( Gangs of New York, Iris ) as Chief Butterman, the stellar cast of talents include Steve Cogan ( 24 Hour Party People ), Timothy Dalton ( The Living Daylights ), Martin Freeman ( The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy ), Bill Nighy ( Pirates of the Caribbean ) and many other surprises.
