We rented this movie to give Lay’s nephews something to watch during a sleepover. They thought it was great fun with lots of shooting and chasing. The story tells us of an over-active police officer, Nicholas Angel who is sent to work out in a small town. Suspicions arrive in the town however, as people start getting killed ‘accidentally’. Coupled with his rather unprofessional partner Danny Butterman they get themselves into suspicious circumstances Nicholas Angel fails to ignore.
But what can I say? It’s just hilarious! An incredibly funny, witty, British comedy that manages to bring you laughter and also offers extremely well directed and executed action scenes! If you liked Shaun of the Dead, you’ll love this, simple as that. I was oddly surprised to find that it was violent, albeit, in a cartoony way.
