Hard-boiled London bobby Nicholas Angel is a good cop—really, really,
really good. In fact, his arrest record is 400% higher than anyone else
at Scotland Yard, and to keep their average to a respectable British level
his supervisors promote him to Sergeant in the sleepy village of Sandford
in the West Country. With his new partner, an inept action film fan (Frost),
he moves to clean up the spotless town. Or is there something rotten in
Sandford? Cheerfully taking on the Hollywood buddy-cop genre of such classics
as Bad Boys II, Point Break, Lethal Weapon
and anything with "Bruckheimer" attached to it, the guys who made the brilliant
rom-zom-com Shaun of the Dead have created "everything
an action-comedy should be. It achieves through parody what most films in
the genre can't accomplish straight." (The Onion A.V. Club) 35mm
Cinemascope.
