After their previous success with the zombie genre spoof “Shaun of the Dead” (2004), director Edgar Wright and co-stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are back with “Hot Fuzz”, co-writing the script together once again. This time they take a stab at another venerable movie genre, a buddy cop comedy. Nicholas Angel (Pegg), a by the book officer in the Metropolitan Police Service is a nightmare for his colleagues and even his superiors, who are all both threatened and disgusted by his efficiency in fighting crime, his blind adherence to the ethics of the profession and his commitment to his work. As a way to get him out of their sight, Angel is promoted into a sergeant and transferred to the seemingly tranquil village of Sandford Gloucestershire. Angel is quickly frustrated with the slow, and relaxed way the local police force operates, particularly his flabby, incompetent partner Danny Butterman (Frost). As the dead bodies begin to pile up, Angel begins to suspect a serial killer and quickly realizes that there’s something sinister bubbling underneath the Sandford surface, and that the village is hardly as peaceful as advertised. With the village folks’ obsession with the “Village of the Year” competition bordering insanity, Angel learns just how far the villagers are willing to go in order to win the coveted prize. His uncompromising investigation will put his life in jeopardy, as well as the life of any other Sandfordians who fail to fall in line with what’s expected of them.
