See more Hit Brit comedy from the makers of 'Shaun of the Dead'. When a hotshot young London cop (Simon Pegg)'s arrest record puts the whole metropolitan force to shame, his superiors shunt him to a rural posting hoping they've heard the last of him. The sleepy hamlet he's posted to, however, behind all the lace curtain politeness, is a hotbed of grisly murder and vigilantism. His diligence and character sit ill with the locals - all except the Sergeant's layabout son (Nick Frost) who's a huge fan of the cop buddy movie genre. The pair bond and end up taking on the town in a guns-blazing, granny-kicking, rocket-launching gore-fest in the interests of ridding the town of a sinister cult of pensioners who're dedicated to keeping order at any cost.

Our review

"More quick-fire pop culture nudges and wry Brit humour, though it’s sleepy as a Somerset village in places. It beautifully reinvents the Simon Pegg/Nick Frost bromance that worked so beautifully in TV show Spaced."
