Reviews

areatw I remember the first time I saw this film, thinking it was one of the funniest I had ever seen, and I haven't seen many that have made me laugh as much since. Chris Morris is known for black comedy and 'Four Lions' is certainly fantastically dark.The plot, the characters, the dialogue - everything about the film is funny. The stupidity of the main characters combined with the absurdity of their plans make this a truly hilarious film and a great piece of entertainment.'Four Lions' is a comedic gem. A rare naturally funny film that is guaranteed to make you laugh.

marshreed 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.

Ankit Gokhale Zero Stars.This film is awful. It relies on characters' ineptitude for humor just like The Graduate. I hated that film. I hate this one too. Unfunny, long, boring, with weird characters and zero character development. Bad Camera work.Not to mention, but that was some horrible accent they talked with. Do all the British immigrants talk like that?But a couple of good dialogs.Arrgghhh Wasted my time watching this.

paul2001sw-1 Chris Morris is one of Britain's darkest satirists, and if you like your humour black, also among the funniest. And in 'Four Lions', his story of a squad of incompetent jihadists, there were several moments that had me in hysterics, as his idiotic protagonists' suicide missions are successful only in the narrowest of senses. But these moments are really simple comedy; the film's sense of genuine satire is much weaker, and you could replace Muslim terrorists with Nazis, the IRA, or communist revolutionaries without changing much of the sense of the movie. Indeed, one could argue that in spite of its subject, Morris has produced a perhaps his least offensive work - but still a very funny one.
