CGiii Comment
A comedy...that is actually funny...such a rarity in these humourless times.
The writing is slick, the performances are perfectly pitched, the direction acute.
But, the award goes to...the editor - rarely does the editor grab the spotlight - here, the definitive star of the film...thoughtful and, at times, genius - making this little comedy soar above its contemporaries.
Shame about the terrible title.

The(ir) Blurb...
Top London cop, PC Nicholas Angel is good. Too good. And to stop the rest of his team looking bad, he is reassigned to the quiet town of Sandford. He is paired with Danny Butterman, who endlessly questions him on the action lifestyle. Everything seems quiet for Angel, until two actors are found decapitated. It is called an accident, but Angel isn't going to accept that, especially when more and more people turn up dead. Angel and Danny clash with everyone, whilst trying to uncover the truth behind the mystery of the apparent "accidents".
