Give Us Your Opinion of This Movie!

My Review:

British comedy/buddy movie spoof from the team that brought us “Shaun of the Dead.”  Lots of dry humor.  London super cop who is making the other guys look bad gets transfered to a rural town where nothing much happens… or does it?  None of the actors are really recognizable to the American audience except for Timothy Dalton, who shows up as a sleazy shopkeeper.  Lots of inside references to movies like Point Break and Bad Boys – a real hoot for those fans!  Some bizarre and gory violence.  Teens can handle it, and they’ll get it.  Some sharp editing techniques pick up the pace, but it’s still a little long.  Great characterizations, some good laughs.

Top London cop PC Nicholas Angel is good. Too good. And to stop the rest of his team from looking bad, he is reassigned to the quiet town of Sandford. Paired with simple country cop Danny, everything seems quiet until two actors are found decapitated. It is addressed as an accident, but Angel isn't going to accept that, especially when more and more people turn up dead.
