"Hot Fuzz" is a 2007 action-comedy film directed by Edgar Wright and stars Simon Pegg as Nicholas Angel, a skilled London police officer. After being promoted to sergeant, he is transferred to a seemingly quiet village called Sandford, where he partners with the bumbling local officer, Danny Butterman, played by Nick Frost. As Nicholas investigates a series of mysterious deaths, he uncovers a dark secret hidden beneath the village's idyllic surface. The film cleverly blends elements of action, comedy, and satire, paying homage to classic buddy cop movies while delivering sharp social commentary.
