It would appear that Simon Pegg is starring in every strange British comedy, and "Hot Fuzz" is no exception. This is a dark comedy at best with some action sequences, and a bit of unnecessary gore and violence. I expected a little more quirky British humor and a lot less gore, even though it came from the makers of "Shaun of the Dead." In this film, an overachieving police officer in the British police force is forced to leave London because he is making everyone else look bad. They relocate him to a seemingly perfect small town where the officers appear to have never arrested someone before. However, people keep dying in "accidents" and the new officer starts to suspect that there may be foul play involved. Former Bond portrayer Timothy Dalton plays a creepy store owner in this town. I'll give this film 2 ½ out of 5 stars because I didn't laugh very much at this dark comedy, there was too much gore, and there was really only one good action sequence at the end of the film.
