Rating: 3/4 -- The film wisely doesn't try to explore the roots of religious fanaticism and how it can manifest as murder: Instead, it simply accepts the world as it is and focuses on the ridiculous.

I laughed out loud a lot, and by the time the plot catches up to the plotters and people start dying, there's genuine poignancy amid the ridicule. Full Review

3 stars out of 4 -- It's an exceedingly dark comedy, a wicked satire, a thriller where the thrills center on the incompetence of the villains. It's fueled by both merriment and anger.

Rating: 3.5/5 -- Really, these guys are just knuckleheads. And the movie is full of outrageous laughs. Full Review

Rating: 5/5 -- Those hungry for another taste of Morris' uncompromising, darkly-poignant portrayal of modern British society may well find themselves queuing for another ride down the rubber-dingy rapids. Full Review

It's a challenging and often hilarious study of a group of bickering, homegrown terrorists as they plan suicide bombings in London....The director and co-writer's extensive research and profound intellect elevate the film above mere farce.

[A] shockingly hilarious, stiletto-sharp satire directed by Chris Morris and written by a squad of British wits.

Product Description:

A handful of young men set out to take on the decadent West but are more of a threat to themselves than anyone else in this black comedy from director Chris Morris. Omar (Riz Ahmed) is a devout Muslim living in the United Kingdom who has decided to form a terrorist cell to bring forth a jihad against a culture he believes is dominated by the sinful and ignorant. However, Omar isn't much of leader, and he's assembled an unimpressive team of fellow terrorists, among them Waj (Kayvan Novak), who lacks the brainpower to come up with ideas or direction on his own; Faisal (Adeel Akhtar), who is shy and doesn't have much to say; and Barry (Nigel Lindsay), a recent convert to Islam who tries to make up for his lack of practical knowledge with fierce passion. As Omar and his comrades debate both doctrine and methods, they ponder such notions as using birds as explosive devices, creating video communiqués with a hip-hop flavor, and attacking mosques in an effort to provoke nonviolent Muslims. But are Omar and his partners a legitimate threat to the safety of Great Britain, or just four half-bright twentysomethings with more bluster than imagination' FOUR LIONS received its world premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
