Hot Fuzz (2007)
Hot Fuzz (2007) 8/10
Absolutely Brilliant! A sharp, sardonic take on the traditional buddy cop flick, Hot Fuzz takes the usual genre conventions and turns it on its head. Easily one of the best and funniest satires i have seen, Hot Fuzz is filled with top-notch performances and sharp British wit. This one’s a winner. I wasn’t that taken with Shaun of the Dead, but this is a tour de force of farcical standards! Right now, its the #1 film of 2007 so far and is almost certain to make my top 10 lists of 2007. I’ll probably never see a funnier film this year. As for the plot, the less you know, the better. The film progresses in slick satirical fashion before it ends in a climatic, over-the-top finale. All in all, highly recommended.
