There is nothing funny about terrorists.

Yet somehow, these guys figured out how to put it into a fierce scream against religious fanaticism.

Four Lions (2010)

In which a group of innocents get involved with a jihadist outfit and manage to provide suspense and condemnation at the same time.

It is pretty effective and almost impossible to stop watching. The laughs are very dark. And the slapstick is horrifyingly exciting. Somehow they turn the whole genré on its head.

I could not watch it again but I am glad that I saw it once.

I also worried that somehow the religious nuts would take offense and kill everyone who made this film.

A 3 out of Netflix5.
