Who's in it: Simon Pegg (Mission: Impossible III, Land of the Dead, Shaun of the Dead), Martin Freeman (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Shaun of the Dead) Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Underworld: Evolution, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Shaun of the Dead, Underworl, Love Actually) and, of course, Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead).
Okay, so, as you may have noticed, many of these people were all in Shaun of the Dead. Well, that is because most of these people are friends how have worked on things before, namely a show called "Spaced", which was a hit, 14 episode comedy. What you might not have noticed if you clicked on any of the links above, was that Simon Pegg (who plays the main character) also co-wrote Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead along with Edgar Wright, who also wrote episodes (perhaps all) for "Spaced."
Plot: Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Played by Simon Pegg) is the best police officer in London, but makes the whole force look bad since is he so good. So, they make him leave. They transfer him out to a little town in the country, Sandford, where nothing ever happens. However, of course, something does happen. People starrt dieing, but everyone assumes they are accidents, but not Angel, he thinks there is something sinister behind the deaths. However, he's not the detective, he's just a good cop, and so, his hands are tied. But the deaths don't stop, and he is convinced there is something going on int he little village of Sandford, but can't convince anyone of it.
Moral teaching: Stand up for what you know is right, even if everyone else doesn't agree with you. The main character doesn't believe in God, though he is open to it, but he still knows what's right. Even family can be wrong, and you have to stand up to them if they are.
Content: This movie is violent, plain and simple. Lots of gun fights (towards the end), and blood and gore through out. If you're at all squeemish, don't see it. But I will say this, although it is bloody, it is still a comedy, so the blood and gore, in my opinion, has less of a negative effect on one's mood compared to a horror flick with tons of blood, gore, and torture (whic this film has none). Also, there is a scene in which a woman wears novilty breasts over her police uniform.
Rollerskates: I give this good action flick a 5 out o 5 rollerskates. And a good solid 4 out of 5 for offensive content.
