Hot Fuzz (2007)
A big-city cop finds grisly, darkly comic mayhem hidden beneath a sleepy, absurdly charming British village.
Former London constable Nicholas Angel finds it 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 for a partner. However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village.
How intense is Hot Fuzz?
Hot Fuzz is mildly scary, with graphic gore and brutal violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is brisk, and it is a full-attention watch and a party watch. The humor runs dry and absurdist. Rated R.
