Supercop Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is promoted and shipped out of London to the sleepy burg of Sandburg. The rest of the London force is sick and tired of being shown-up by a one-man force with a 400% higher arrest record who makes the rest of them look bad.
So Angel shows up in Sandford, a town with almost no crime but a large amount of “accidental” deaths. Partnered with the chief’s son (Nick Frost), who has a love of American action flicks, a tendency to ask really annoying questions (“Have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air?”), and little actual police knowledge, Angel investigates a few accidental deaths and becomes convinced a serial killer is murdering his way through the small town.
The film is a great send up of the action genre, including the plot twists and huge gun battle explosion sequences to end the film. Two years ago I feel in love with Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (read that review) for doing many of the same things.
