Hot Fuzz, Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's follow up to Shaun Of The Dead (and my most eagerly anticipated film of the last year) is making serious moolah at cinemas here in the UK. And it's only fair as it's a thoroughly fantastic flick. Whereas Shaun managed to be both hugely funny and a successful horror film (people who think it's a parody are missing the point) Hot Fuzz does the same for the explosive action police buddy movie.... and relocates it to the sleepy English countryside. Some reviews said it was too long, but in fact the huge build up to the ridiculously action packed climax only goes to make it more satisfying . And until then it's a who's-who of UK acting and comedy talent, all brilliantly filmed in Wright's fantastic style. It all goes to show there's more to the UK film industry than rom-coms and period dramas. It'll be interesting to see how it'll travel, but US audiences will get the chance to see when it hits there next month.
