Simon Pegg plays a high strung, city policeman (sorry--police officer) that gets transferred to a small town with a history of peace. The town has even won awards for having so little crime. This is an expertly crafted comedy with some great performances all around. The editing in the movie gives it a sort of rhythm that is sustained throughout. There are some really sweet action scenes that verge on comic book imagery.
There's also an element of drama and mystery to the comedy. The way it's edited, about halfway through you think you know what happened. You have no idea what's happening. Then once you finally find out the truth, you want to see the movie from the beginning again. It's almost like Fight Club in it's "rewatchability". Seemingly innocuous lines suddenly come to life with an entirely different understanding. And it's not just a line here and there, it's almost every line.
