Hot Fuzz (2007)

PC Nicholas Angel, a high-achieving officer of the London Metropolitan Police Service, is promoted to Sergeant, but his colleagues arrange for him to be reassigned to the small rural town of Sandford, Gloucestershire, a regular “Village of the Year” winner. Angel is soon frustrated by the mundane nature of the village and his lazy and incompetent colleagues. His partner, PC Danny Butterman, is a fan of buddy cop films and son of Inspector Frank Butterman, Angel’s superior.

Martin Blower and Eve Draper, the two lead actors of a local production of Romeo and Juliet, whom Angel had pulled over earlier for speeding, are murdered by a cloaked figure wielding an axe, who disguises it as a car accident. Angel is the only officer who suspects foul play. Sent to resolve a dispute, Angel discovers a stash of illegal weapons, including an old naval mine, and locks them in the police station. Angel warms to Danny, and they binge-watch action movies at Danny’s home. That night, wealthy land developer George Merchant is attacked in his home by the cloaked figure, and killed in a deliberate gas explosion.
