From within the comedy that come fast and furious that you find yourself inevitably laughing at the clueless wannabes, there are moments of poignancy especially when you realize that the wannabes have gone way past the point of no return, and with the wheels of destruction set in motion, there's no turning back really.
In a way it reflects upon how detection of the clandestine activities may sometimes be stranger than fiction, but it is usually missed opportunities, especially with the countless of screw ups that go undetected, that serve as the real threat to society with prejudices and discrimination at play.
Ultimately those who truly suffer are friends and especially family, and the story does not mince that impact even though most are centered around the closing credits in an epilogue.
Family isn't far behind especially when time got devoted to focus on the ringleader's, that here's a man willing to sacrifice what's worldly for a calling so perceived higher than self and for the greater good.
Not only those on the other side of the law get put in a spotlight, but how the authorities and politicians behave got their fair share of critique, though in a fashion of less being more.
Four Lions adopted the shaky cam throughout which in a way tried to mirror a documentary, and to some this may be tiring to watch since the camera bounces around and doesn't stay still for the most parts.
This is perhaps the only aspect of the film that I disliked, though you'll soon find yourself tickled if you pay close attention to the dialogue which were thoroughly filled with wickedly funny lines.
The trailer may have accidentally revealed the funnier, slapstick aspects of the film, but its wit was firmly found in the spoken words.
Riz Ahmed is as charismatic a ringleader as he can be, and Kayvan Novak plays Waj his less than intelligent friend and blind follower with a sense of sensitivity that will tug at your heart when Omar realizes what he had done, and you'll definitely feel something for the Waj character when you ponder over how many real world counterparts who exist in the real world, being all too trusting with their leaders in being lambs laid out for slaughter, conned with an ideal of a promise.
Adeel Akhtar's Faisal the bomb maker will nearly always make you laugh at his naivety and sheer stupidity, being one of the characters that draw the most laughs besides Waj.
It's easy to lapse into stereotypes and branding a message of hate, but Four Lions is nothing of that sort. What it does is to make one sit up and take notice of the troubles that are plaguing our modern day society, where there are those who do not feel inclusive, and decide to take it upon themselves to address their grievances through the use of violence.
It's seriousness hidden under the guise of comedy, and I dare say you'll get more out of this film than from whatever else that's screening this week.
Highly recommended! MarcusJ13 10 May Chris Morris has had his fair share of approaching controversial subjects such as the brilliant Brass Eye.
I so wanted this to be an hilarious film as it was a long time since I had really good laugh in the cinema. Here is another social commentary this time on terrorism and I was optimistic that this was going to be the laugh I was looking for even if the subject is controversial.
The actual terrorists though are inept and have no real grasp of what they are trying to do. We follow them making plans and deciding that they want to strike the London Marathon.
The question being asked all the time is can a film about suicide bombers ever be funny? Well the answer to that question in my view is yes because it is more about characters being so bad at something and presenting themselves in a bizarre sense.
They are delivered in such an amusing manner that I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the sheer lunacy. In comedy itself being generally stupid and incompetent is something that in my view is extremely difficult to get right and can easily escalate to farce.
In Four Lions though the acting is good enough and set up well enough that it doesn't feel like they are just dumping situations on screen and putting in random moments designed to gain comedic measure.
One scene in particular when the group are forced to carry their bombing equipment on foot after their car breaks down. It has to be seen as it is just brilliant.
In this the scenes are set up and the comedy is delivered very well. The humour can get quite dark and sick at times but not so much that it isn't funny nonetheless.
I can understand why some people would shun this film and the humour is definitely not by all means universal but I would recommend it as it is a funny satire that you may enjoy.
It is quite understandable if you don't though. With The Day Today and its more acerbic follow-up Brasseye, supreme satirist Chris Morris made a mockery of the madness of the popular media by saying what he saw.
It was funny because it could have been true. With Four Lions, Morris's focus is no longer on the manipulator, but rather the manipulated. Yet by presenting this jihad suicide squad as a group of bumbling misfits, chugging along the road to apotheosis in a car fitted with dodgy "Jewish spark plugs", it's still about the madness — here, the madness of a cracked ideology believed in mostly because it's made up as it goes along.
This is not really a film about Islam, or even religious fundamentalism, but identity. Omar an excellent Riz Ahmed speaks fluently about the "Church of McDonald's" and Western imperialism, and yet he's at the centre of a comfortable, suburban, upper working class family unit.
Hassan Arsher Ali is an awkward, gangly virgin with a bone to pick with his Media Studies teacher.
For all their misadventures, there's a genuine tenderness and loyalty between these "soldiers". This is a side of Morris we've rarely seen before — an emotional spine that raises the film far above what could have resembled a series of sketches or, worse, a reel of better outtakes.
Perhaps this is the film's greatest success: bringing its director out of the satirical shadows and into the comedy spotlight, and proving there's a heart to go with that clever head.
Home grown Asian suicide bombers are not an obvious choice for Comedy. But Director Chris Morris makes a surprisingly good job of it in a work which is skilfully written and performed.
The best humour has a ring of truth about it. And so it is true here. The plot moves from satire, to slapstick to straight forwards storytelling, and back, at quite a pace leaving the audience to make its own mind up about whether certain bits are intended to be funny, or just turn out that way.
That ambiguity is probably the film's strongest suit. A strong cast of Jihadists struggle to get a team together, struggle to get to a Training Camp in Pakistan from which they are sent home in disgrace, indeed they struggle to complete any task successfully.
Yet they are not portrayed as buffoons. Never before has Muslim culture been lampooned like this, yet Morris shows it in such a way that they are Everyman jokes and should not cause offence to anyone.
The fact that this is low budget works to its advantage. The script and acting win and the documentary style filming gives it an authenticity which is vital for the humour to prosper.
Preeya Kalidas has a frustrating, underwritten role as Omar's wife. A nurse, and a mother we never really get her insight into the prospect of her husband, and father of her son, embracing martyrdom, even though she pokes fun at an over zealous cleric when he visits their home.
At minutes, the film ends when it needs to, in dramatic and compelling style and does not out stay its welcome. For some this will not be funny enough, for others it will simply be in poor taste.
But we should be proud that this sort of comedy simply could not be made in America, and is the first cinematic attempt to deal with a relatively new, and disturbing, social phenomena.
This is the sort of film at first glance you believe shouldn't work. My first thoughts were 'Too Soon? But then I realised this is just a mockery on something that has had a big impact on us all.
The film is based around a group of Jihadists that are planning to cause a terror attack on Britain but the group leading this attack is just full of oddballs which gives for great slapstick comedy and some memorable quotes that served the film well.
Christopher Morris has done himself good with this film and the final ten minutes were really an eye-opener to me. I recommend that this film should be seen by people who won't take this film seriously, it's a gimmick.
That's the only reason the film's story worked, if it wasn't funny the film raters wouldn't have let this film be shown. So take the minutes or so to sit down and enjoy laughter all the way through.
We can reliably expect the British to attack the unassailable, to break conventions and taboos, to go where no Hollywood would dare upon the pain of financial ruin and political corectness' ostracizing.
So here comes the mujahid director Chris Morris, with a very believable cast of British would-be terrorists. The humour is solid, at times subtle and inducted gently and other times visually compelling, evident laughter.
The would be martyrs run out of power while shooting their farewell video. They use replica guns. Any malfunctioning car has "Jewish parts" in it.
They want to bomb mosques to "awaken the moderates" all during which they must beware of being monitored. Their biggest fear is being captured by the US forces and force-fed Viagra, then shown on YouTube having sex with dogs.
And it goes on and on 'till it hurts. The extras come with some very educative research segments on real-life interviews with Muslims in the UK and the actual race-relations today.
The movie fills a very necessary space, as one of those liberty of expression landmarks which will make us regard the suicide bombers as not only criminals, but hopelessly stupid.
Must see watching! After watching the film I wondered at some of the choices Morris had made concerning the depth of the characters in the film and their motivation.
On reflection I could see the extremely clever and thoughtful way that he had written the script. This film is a fantastic means of attacking the media's paniced frenzy regarding Muslim extremist's bomb attacks.
I went to this film with no more knowledge then 'it's a black comedy about Muslim extremist bombers in Britain written and directed by Chris Morris'.
Although I have followed Chris Morris' work throughout his television career. I didn't know what to expect at all - whether it would work or not.
Some friends who said they had seen the trailer for it at the cinema said it didn't look that good. It proved to be very good.
It entertains very well and holds your attention. But the depth of the film is that after it you have plenty of thoughts on the subject matter and they all encourage an open minded re-exploring of thoughts on the Muslim communities in Britain and the media's frenzy around terrorism and Muslim communities in Britain.
There are specific parts of the film which are so clever in how they raise questions that I'd love to talk about them but I'd spoil the film. I think that it's best to go see the film and enjoy it as great entertainment.
On the way out of the cinema all the issues involved will be real food for thought. One of the thoughts I had after leaving was that Chris Morris had perhaps written this with the first audience in his mind as British Muslims and not in any patronising or preaching way, but further thought made me believe the film was for all English people specifically.
Undoubtedly this film can work internationally and is well worth watching if you are from some other country. But it was great that Morris had made no concessions to this so he could tell the story the way he wanted to.
Other nationalities watching the film may well have trouble with some of the dialogue but you'll be OK. Watch this film, it's undoubtedly the most important film to come out of the UK for a very long time, and what's more it's bloody good entertainment.
A film not given its full credit due to its "controversial" content. From rubber dingy rapids to blowing up the internet to Barry the most extreme member of the gang it is hilarious.
Will probably come with an advisory warning in the near future and what a shame that will be. Warning: Spoilers. I was delighted to have stumbled upon Four Lions.
It is hilarious and silly but somehow it never once escapes reality like Spinal Tap does so that we actually believe such bungling, misguided people like this might actually exist.
It also portrays the jihadist as a human being with flaws, which is something some people simply might not want to contemplate, given the stereotypes that exist in the Fox News world.
Each wacky scenario that is portrayed could actually happen, making this satire highly engaging in a Slapshot fashion and allowing us to feel for the characters.
The violent ending leaves us wondering exactly what we were laughing at and why were we laughing at it. Four Lions is one of the most thought provoking films I have ever seen.
Okay, so the makers of this film must have known that what they were doing would court controversy, but they did it anyway.
That wouldn't be that controversial in itself if the film was a drama, but it isn't — it's a comedy — a pretty black one definitely.
Therefore, you will always get a certain percentage of the audience who claims that this sort of area should be 'off limits' and not something to be made fun of.
Those people will hate it no matter what and vote it one star probably either before it was release, or without ever actually watching it.
Yes, it covers a taboo issue, but, although it chooses to mock certain people, it goes to great lengths never to make any sweeping statements about such as how 'all Muslims are terrorists,' or something equally as crass.
The central protagonists may wish to cause loss of life through their actions, but you can see that they're the minority of the minority. They're misguided and truly believe that what they're doing is for the greater good.
You may also think that it would therefore be pretty hard to ever find much to like about this crowd of terrorists.
There are plenty of laughs to find in there, just don't try and pre-judge it on what some people's 'knee-jerk' reactions to the subject matter were.
If nothing else TheExpatriate 26 November Four Lions is an excellent dark comedy that aspires to be the Dr.
Strangelove of the War on Terror. Although it does not reach the heights of that masterpiece, it is still a great film that will leave you laughing.
Who knew that suicide bombing could be so much fun? The film centers around a group of inept would be terrorists as they plan a strike in the UK.
These plotters are so incompetent that they get themselves kicked out of terrorist training camp. Just to make things worse, they are saddled with Barry, a loud mouthed British man who has converted to jihadism.
The film mines lots of jokes from the absurdity of the terrorists' plots, with the conspirators coming up with the most bizarre plans possible.
Highlights include a crow suicide bomber and a very unlucky sheep. At the same time, the film manages to humanize its characters, particularly the lead conspirator Omar.
Riz Ahmed gives a genuinely moving performance, showing us the family man as well as the terrorist. Indeed, at times the film strains credibility by depicting his equal relationship with his wife Sofia, which one would not expect to find with a militant jihadist.
Contrary to the accusations of some conservative critics that the film paints a glamorous picture of terrorism, the ending emphasizes the waste of terrorism, and the stupidity of the jihadis themselves.
This is what makes it such a great film-it draws laughs even while making a serious point. The movie is about five really incompetent jihadists, and it's a REALLY good example of why British humour is superior to American humour, which is not that hard, or European humour harder to do.
The story is that these four guys, Pakistani blokes, are gonna be terrorists, and they set out to be jihadists. Because it's shown that the so-called terrorist threat is largely exaggerated.
Is making fun of a terror threat disrespectful of the victims of terror attacks? Some might feel offended, but in the end, thinking about this stuff in a humouristic and philosophical way is the best way to get over it.
You can't sit around feeling all depressed for the rest of your life. This film is a reinforcement of the observation that most criminals are quite stupid.
Same goes for terrorists. Why is this such a great movie? Well, perhaps, because the would be terrorist are so sincere, but also so clumsy, which makes the five friends so endearing.
All we humans do is mucking about and muddling through, and that point is especially driven home by the police and anti-terrorist snipers who, of course, get the wrong guys, kill innocent bystanders and arrest all the wrong people.
I like the ending. It would have been wrong to have a happy ending, since happy endings are just stories that aren't finished yet.
Especially Omar, when he realizes that he's the last one, AND is the smartest of the bunch, still walks into the chemists and does his thing.
I wasn't even really sad about it, the way I'm usually sad about these films where a group of friends die one by one.
It was perfectly fitting: the incompetent bombers all die, and they die pretty meaningless deaths.
So, yes, everyone is a giant f-up. Except for the makers of this film, of course This is not a perfect movie, but it's a damn funny one - and, it turns out, an important one.
In the US, since our ethos is that Muslims hate freedom, and hate America because of our freedom, and that drives their hatred of us.
You have a bunch of guys who want to be great, who want to stand for something, and they need only the thinnest of common purpose and outlet for doing it i.
And they don't have to be geniuses In fact, usually they're not. Omar works as a security guard and suffers sleep-inducing monologues by his colleague through their shift.
His wife is a nurse, and they have a young son. I wish the film went further to explain why his wife is okay with the fact that he wants to kill people - and himself, thus widowing her and leaving his beloved son behind.
His brother is a strict Muslim who is ironically too conservative for Omar and his wife's taste.
