Synopsis

Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce.

EBJ Directed by Chris MorisStarring ​Riz Ahmed, Kayvan Novak and Nigel Lindsey​ Plot Overview: A group of young Muslim men living in Sheffield decide to wage jihad, and they hatch an inept plan to become suicide bombers. Omar (Riz Ahmed) and Waj (Kayvan Novak) have a brief, disastrous run at a Pakistan training camp, while Faisal (Adeel Akhtar) works on an unlikely scheme to train birds to carry bombs. Their ill-conceived plan culminates at the London Marathon with their bumbling attempts to disrupt the event while dressed in outlandish costumes.This movie is enjoyable if you can take offence and actively enjoy dark humour. This movie is very offensive but if you can take that you will have a great time. All the characters are funny and memorable and its a brilliant modern satire that is perfect in the current climate of today. The story is this movie is just purely a satire and is one of the best modern satires in recent memory. The ending is just plain flawless and I couldn't fault it in any way shape or form. It's a story that wouldn't win Oscars or anything but it definitely serves its purpose and is especially helpful in the way the world is right now.Riz Ahmed was good as Omar as was Karvan Novak as Waj. Nigel Lindsey was amazing as Barry and is just such a brilliant character. Adeel Akhtar was alright as Faisal. Arsher Ali was fine as Hassan. Every character in this movie was distinct and memorable and you will certainly not forget any of them. Barry is a personal favourite but every single character still has purpose and is fun in their own unique way.Technically, this movie is mostly poor. The cinematography is awful but that may have been a stylistic choice. If that is the case, then fair enough but until then it's pretty poorly done. The effects were pretty poor and the set design was very generic but the costume design is absolutely flawless.This movie told a, simply put, genius satire and may be the best in the past decade or so. It was clever, it was witty and it was perfect for the time it was written. It was very funny and I would say around 60% of the jokes hit which is definitely a positive. The remaining 40%, however, felt very forced and cringey.In conclusion, this movie is very enjoyable if you enjoy dark humour and can take it. If you can't, then you will definitely hate this movie.7/10Would Recommend if you can take Offensive humour
sanjin_9632 First, to all the people who gave this anything less than 5 stars: You haven't the slightest idea about satire, comedy or anything for that matter. This movie is funny, because it's only bordering on the authentic. Stupidity has no limits, no boundaries. This is a fact no matter how much anyone might try to dispute or disapprove. Barry & Waj (two of the boys) is proof of that. I'm certain that there's a ton of Barrys and Wajs out there somewhere. I actually believe that there's a Barry everywhere in one way or another.The fact that this film turns dark towards the end is only logical. It's to be expected. How else can one let this movie end? Stupidity combined with violent intent always ends badly or tragically. I'm especially fond of the Heimlich near the end there. The Cumberbatch cameo as the perplexed negotiator also was a nice surprise. This movie's full of interestingly bad/dumb decisions and statements. I watched it just once and I'm already repeating or quoting some of them. As far as Chris Morris goes, I'm not familiar with his work, apart from his role in The IT crowd, but just for having the balls to make this 6 years ago, he should be commended. 7.4/10
AfroPixFlix Now here's something well worth an open-mended person's time. Buffoons, for the most part impressionable wannabees, royally mess up while thinking they're doing something for the good of the world. If you dare, get out of your comfort zone and substitute their jihad for any type of fundamentalism that has an intolerant edge to it. Those groups or movements will attract the impressionable, the zealots, and the misguided dangerous people ready to explode their "fringe" positions. But this film is entertaining for its downright belly laughs of humor. Unfortunately, the sound editing and rapid fire (no pun intended) line deliveries make parts of it hard to understand. If you can tolerate subtitles, use them even if English is your native tongue. Otherwise, you may miss some really funny lines. Be prepared for an ending that gets sublime. It's really the only socially-responsible way to end this great work, despite it being a downer you'll feel while the smiles haven't yet faded away from your face. Chris Morris is superb as a writer and director, and he should continue tackling these tough subjects, AfroPixFlix sez.
