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.A MUST SEE

Christopher Morris' spoof of a bungling Muslim terrorist cell is brilliant and an instant cult classic. By virtue of its non-stop laughs, Four Lions is ostensibly a comedy. What separates it from other movies of the genre is the depth of character development and the characters' well-defined interrelations. The power struggle between Omar and Barry is palpable, as is the mutual fondness of cousins Waj and Omar. Ne'er-do-well Faisal and his crow almost brought me to tears. I even found myself rooting for Omar's boss, who proves himself to be truly lovable despite his limited screen time. Another divergence from the typical comedy is the films' strong plot-line and classically tragic resolution. Four Lions is a gem and not to be missed.

This has got to be one of the most messed up black comedy I have seen so far. And I have seen a lot of messed up comedies. This film has that comedic elements where they put one character in the group that has some common sense around an idiot or idiots that messes it up for the whole group or are used as a plot device to further the gag. This has been done many times in other comedies and it's a plot device that works really well in certain comedies. And for the most part it worked for this one despite it being all messed up and all. I will say I did feel a bit uncomfortable when I got a few chuckles or a laugh out of this one. Despite the offensive content because of the subject matter which revolves around a group of wannabe terrorists that are British Muslims, I found it amusing. Because of the clever scenarios and how ridiculous it is how it all played out. What I didn't like is how most of the civilians and officers give the terrorist group who a chance and treat them like human beings without coming up with assumptions or judging them because of their ethnicity. And the group uses that trust and tries to blow innocent people up regardless. When one of the members in the group gave this rap presentation in one of the scenes about stereotypes and judging someone because of their ethnicity I thought he had a point until you learn that he is actually a part of the terrorist group anyways. This can tick off a lot of viewers that are Muslims that have no intention of going through with terrorist activities or support them in anyway. The might even be Muslims that has no affiliations at all when it comes to jihadists. Benedict Cumberbatch makes a appearance in this before he got his big break as well, although it's for a short bit. When I heard about the premise of this movie, which deals with the most incompetent terrorist group ever. I thought it was going to be another "Tucker & Dale vs. Evil" which is a film that came out on the same year. But it's more like a mix between "The Dictator" and "This Is the End" except way a way lower budget. I think the reason why this comedy didn't get as much recognition is because it didn't have many well known Hollywood actors and because of the content. Although it's more of a film that mocks the terrorist than anything else.7.5/10

This movie should have clearly achieved way more than it did. The actors have displayed how high they can perform and Christopher Morris has done an excellent job in directing this master piece.The actors have done a truly excellent job in quickly changing between emotions and have shown they can act serious scenes as well as the comedic ones that make this movie deserving of an Oscar.Chris Morris has given this movie a very powerful effect due to they way his scenes change quickly from comedy to serious ones. This keeps the funny side of the movie but also maintains the story line.Someone please give this movie a f***ing Oscar.
