"Hot Fuzz is a masterclass in comedy filmmaking, with a razor-sharp script and pitch-perfect performances that keep the laughs rolling."

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 18, 2025

This is great filmmaking and storytelling that just so happens to allude to other action movies in its construction. And quite frankly, it’s greatly entertaining in both the comedic and action realms, far surpassing its referenced sources.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 8, 2024

What makes Wright & Co.’s buddy-cop goof so spot-on is that, like their previous take on splatter flicks, the pair share an affection for -- and thorough knowledge of -- cineplex cheese with their film-geek fan base.

... the madcap shoot-outs that erupt in the cute little country village... is both a surreal parody of urban action spectacle and seventies 온라인카지노추천 cop clichés and a marvelous bit of comic action in its own right.

| Apr 14, 2023

An amusing comedy that also manages to evoke memories of The Wicker Man, Plague of the Zombies, and other spooky yarns centering on eccentric villagers inhabiting the less-traveled paths of the British Isles.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 3, 2021

You'll never think of the cop buddy genre the same way again.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 16, 2020

Becomes quite a funny, surreally silly affair after a very slow start.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 3, 2020

A literate deconstruction of action movie tropes, while also being intelligent enough to actually offer a passable genre movie in the process.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 3, 2018

Wright understands how to perfectly balance action, comedy, drama, and suspense, and it pays off.

| Jan 31, 2018

It's a perfect spoof of the once popular action genre, that's highlighted by the chemistry of Pegg and Frost.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 29, 2014

Manages to find humor not just in the mundane existence of a small town but also in the overblown nature of action films. And, it works as an action movie on its own.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 19, 2014

Hot Fuzz, Edgar Wright's follow-up to his extremely popular zombie satire Shaun of the Dead (2004), improves on the latter's strong points in every conceivable way while drastically tightening up its weakest elements.

| Original Score: 70/100 | Mar 13, 2011

Hot Fuzz is a fresh upper, handily topping Wright and Pegg's 2004 cult zombie flick in pure manic energy alone.

| Jul 6, 2010

Works because they set out to make a faithful genre picture just as equally as a comedy. The film is even funnier because they never sacrifice plot or character for a laugh.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jun 9, 2010

From paying homage to Michael Bay's camera motions to kicking an old lady square in the kisser, this film holds nothing back and fires away with tons of laughs.

| Original Score: A+ | Apr 18, 2010

There's real fondness not just for the crash-a-tons being referenced, but also for a homey, practically imaginary England

| Aug 27, 2009

The opening premise of Hot Fuzz is like the recipe for a simple concept comedy: overachieving cop in underachieving village, and it works to set the all important tone in this funnily ridiculous film.

| Oct 18, 2008

The makers of Shaun of the Dead have done it again. This time they have combined a classic cop-buddy movie with a quaint town in England, and yes, laughs definitely ensue.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 4, 2008
