A beloved comedy, hailed as "bitingly satiric" and featuring Olivia Colman, is leaving Prime Video in days.
Directed by Edgar Wright and starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, Hot Fuzz was released in 2007 as part of the trio's Cornetto Trilogy of films, also featuring Shaun of the Dead and The World's End.
Hot Fuzz follows top London detective Nicholas Angel (Pegg), who is transferred to the remote village of Sandford when his superiors become jealous of his achievements.
He quickly becomes frustrated by the village's inept police department and the quirky locals he comes into contact with, but Angel gets more than he bargains for when he begins investigating a series of mysterious deaths, uncovering a conspiracy far greater than he and partner Danny Butterman (Frost) anticipate.
Colman also stars, playing Doris Thatcher, one of the police officers in Sandford.
The cast is rounded out by the likes of Paddy Considine, Timothy Dalton, Bill Nighy, Rafe Spall, Jim Broadbent, and Martin Freeman.

Hot Fuzz is currently available to stream on Prime Video, but users only have 10 days, until 10 August, to watch the film before it leaves the platform.
On IMDb, it has a user rating of 7.8, with one review calling it a "smart" and "entertaining" film.
The film also holds a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the critics' consensus reading: "The brilliant minds behind Shaun of the Dead successfully take a shot at the buddy cop genre with Hot Fuzz. The result is a bitingly satiric and hugely entertaining parody."
In its review, Loud and Clear wrote: "Hot Fuzz is a masterclass in comedy filmmaking, with a razor-sharp script and pitch-perfect performances that keep the laughs rolling."
AV Club added: "Hot Fuzz is everything an action-comedy should be. It achieves through parody what most films in the genre can't accomplish straight."
Meanwhile, the New York Daily News wrote: "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."
Hot Fuzz is streaming now on Prime Video.
