It’s not Shaun of the Dead, but it’s close. Does a great job of parodying the action cop genre by playing every cliche straight to the point of absurdity and aiming at a smarter audience (not sure if they succeeded there; I was the only one in the theater laughing at the Chinatown references). On its own it is very entertaining, but it doesn’t manage to stack up to Shaun, and probably won’t have as much staying power.
