Hot Fuzz

Former London constable Nicholas Angel finds it difficult to adapt to his new assignment in the sleepy British village of Sandford.

However, when a series of grisly accidents rocks Sandford, Angel smells something rotten in the idyllic village.

Brix, who by chance is one of his fans. Nick will be paired with detective Lt. John Moss and learn how to act like a real cop. But when Nick drives John crazy with questions and imitating him, he gets in the way of John's pursuit of a serial killer.
