It's Life on Mars 2.0!!! Well, the first two thirds, anyway, before it goes all Jerry Bruckheimer. It's all there: the music, the pub, the blueish-brownish station (including the locker room and something that looks a lot like Gene's office), the sexism, the culture clash, two detectives that look and behave like younger clones of Ray - Nicholas Angel even seems to have Sam's room! Not to mention a similarly inflexible, 'married-to-his-work' attitude about his job...

Highly recommended. Don't get confused/discouraged by the incredibly stupid German title; it's *not* that kind of movie, I promise.

(... This reminds me that I *really* need to put "Shaun of the Dead" somewhere near the top of my DVD wish list.)

ETA: Because I need to go to bed and am too lazy, anyway, to write up a 'real' review, here's a nice one I just found:
