19 - Hot Fuzz

     An exceptional police officer is reassigned to a small village, where he finds the accident rate is unusually high.
      I showed this to Eric.  It's hard to believe that I wasn't as wildly enthusiastic about this movie as I am now.  Over time, I've come to feel like it's much more polished and well-written than Shaun of the Dead.  I still haven't seen The World's End for a second viewing though.  The one thing that is a legitimate complaint about Hot Fuzz is that it's long.  It feels long.  But I can't point to anything that should be cut.  Everything in the movie is a setup and a payoff.  The editing is tight.  Even the scenes that play a little more slowly are perfectly appropriate.
