In Short: A comedy / spoof film on ‘jihadis’ is difficult to come by. Laugh-out funny in the good parts. Worth a watch.
It’s been a while since I have done a film review on this blog, and since the main context of this blog is flicks, here goes. ‘Four Lions’ is a spoof flick on four so-called jihadis, who plan to carry out a suicide bombing mission. The suicide mission is still not decided, and they think of various (hilarious) alternatives to put them themselves to lets say – good use. I have seen a lot of films centered around the theme of terrorism and jihad, but this film is the first one that puts a comedy twist to that theme.
The movie is laugh-out-loud funny in the good parts, and handles the rather sensitive topic quite well. After all its a comedy film. But I am sure the movie will raise some ire from some factions of the Muslim community. However, since its a british film, I personally felt that the accent is a tad bit difficult to follow sometimes. It would be better to see this movie with subtitles (if you can find them). In a nutshell, the movie is definitely worth a watch. Gives a ‘lighter’ perspective of this ever growing issue, and also shows the futileness of it. To get a better idea about the movie, you can watch the trailer on Youtube given below.
