Caught by the fuzz

So, we went to see Hot Fuzz last night. It was very busy, but then you have to get there about 15 minutes before the time on the ticket to get a good seat in Watford. We were near the middle I guess, I like watching people's expressions when they get in, not even late, and realise they have to watch the film near the front of the cinema and get a cricked neck....

Anyway, the point of the post is that, about 20-25 minutes from the end of the film, we suddenly get guns, lots of guns, and at that point an older couple got up and walked out. Now admittedly it was a bit of a plot surprise, but I'm wondering whether they thought it really was just going to be a light comedy about a policeman who goes to work in a sleepy village, and that is what attracted them to the film. Either way, they didn't seem to appreciate the humour (or the guns).

Personally, I thought it was a good film, and my favourite quote was "If you want to be a big cop in a small town, f*** off down the model village".
