Hot Fuzz (Edgar Wright, 2007)
Rating: 5.6
The comedy here relies mostly on the editing which works very well, but eventually gets a little tiresome. The concept itself is comical as the residents of a quaint English town end up murdering dissidents threatening their way of life and end up in a hyperviolent shoot out against supercop Nicholas Angel. My favorite touch was the Tony Scott style flashy editing techniques as mugshots of underage drinkers are being being taken. Overall Hot Fuzz was enjoyable, just not outright hilarious and ultimately not very memorable. Honestly, watching the films they are mocking/homaging/satiring (whatever you want to call it) is a lot more hilarious to me than Hot Fuzz actually was.
