I don’t think I can be any clearer about my view of Simon Pegg’s latest film; if you haven’t seen the trailer yet, it doesn’t matter – this film is fantastic.

I’m not posting any spoilers here, but if you want to see the thing 100% fresh then I’ll let you pass on this post (until you’ve seen it).

A brief outline of what you can expect is an unimportant plot, a clever subterfuge of popular culture (Pegg’s trademark), an amalgamation of all-action-meets-spoof-horror-meets-comedy and a smorgasbord of some of the best in British comedy.

You also get some fantastic lines, wildly imaginative action sequences and a very decent production quality. I even left the cinema a little out of breath – unusual for a British film. It was the most I’ve laughed out loud in a cinema since I sneezed out my milkshake in the middle of the last Austin Powers film.

Funnily enough, I recommend you buy a ticket to see Hot Fuzz this week.
