Universal PicturesThe Bad Cop: Chief Inspector Frank Butterman (Jim Broadbent) is the head of the police department in the small country village of Sandford, where Metropolitan police officer Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is assigned. Initially, Butterman seems like a very kind and welcoming, albeit flaky, lawman. But Angel soon discovers Sadnford is over run with corruption and the Chief Inspector is right at the top of it. Most Corrupt Act: Angel uncovers a conspiracy underway by Butterman and the rest of Sandfords elite citizens to smooth the rough edges of their beloved village through any means necessary. Those means are generally murder. Meddling outsiders, incompetent journalists, bad theater actorsButterman and the other did away with anyone who made Sandford appear less than perfect. When his plot is uncovered, Butterman drops the kindly act and turns into a madman, even going so far as to take his hapless son Danny (Nick Frost) hostage. Is Justice Served? Angel, Danny and the rest of Sandfords police department revolt against Butterman. The quiet village is turned into something out of a Michael Bay film with shootouts, explosions and car chases. Finally when Butterman attempts to make one last run for it, hes taken down in the most obvious wayby a runaway swan.
