Have you seen Shaun Of The Dead? Yes? Then don't bother with this, it's pretty much a very similar film. They even copy the shortcut scene over the back gardens. Pegg plays Angel, a cop injured in a stabbing who is sent from London to the countryside as his arrest record is making the rest of the Met look bad. Angel starts as he means to go on, kicking all the kids out of the local pub and arresting what turns out to be his partner for drunk driving. Drunk driving isn't funny. And never will be. So that joke was always going to bomb.
We're faced with stars like Timothy Dalton and Jim Broadbent really desperate for money? They must be to appear in this rubbish. Basically Frost & Pegg watched Bad Boys 2 (which is awful) and Point Break and decided to take all the best bits from both films (that must be all of about 3 seconds?) and put them in their movie. This clearly shows a very obvious fact "We don't have any ideas of our own".
The film was rubbish, the action scenes were far too over the top and didn't help the pace of the film. This could have been so much better and the film was sold on Pegg and Frost. Not on what the script contained.
