The creators of SHAUN OF THE DEAD spoof the cop action genre with the story of a London cop (Simon Pegg) sent to a small town and paired with an incompetent new partner (Nick Frost). With Jim Broadbent. Written by Pegg and director Edgar Wright.

“It’s a blast.” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone)

“Pegg and Wright are armed with an endlessly impressive arsenal of attention grabbers, from witty editing tricks to a wry soundtrack and a joke-packed script that demands multiple viewings.” (Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News)

“On the strength of Shaun of the Dead, his droll zombie bash, the spot-on Don't Scream trailer in Grindhouse and now this, director Edgar Wright is one of the four or five contemporary directors of comedy worth watching.” (Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune)

“The movie duly quickens into pursuits of every speed, and the homage to action thrillers is there in the smallest detail; the clicking of a ballpoint pen, say, is amplified to sound as menacing as the cocking of a gun.” (Anthony Lane, New Yorker)
