Hot Fuzz
Directed by Edgar Wright
2007
United Kingdom
★ 6.4 editorial score
Wright's parody is better constructed than most of the films it mocks: a London supercop is exiled to a picture-perfect village, and the final act is staged better than the real thing.
“These are testosterone-fueled domains, largely defined by bulging muscles and exploding guns, both symbolic and actual...A wee bit of plot tucked amid a fusillade of film-geek jokes and charming nonsense, bang-bang, hee-hee, "Hot Fuzz" trots out the predictable verbal and visual allusions to modern Hollywood action movies great and forgettable, hitting the highs ("Point Break") right along with the lows ("Bad Boys II")”
