I feel like this Britisch comedy about a group of Pakistani terorrists has been greatly overlooked last year and I think it definately deserves some more love.

I love Four Lions. The director Chris Morris created some of the best TV shows ever like Brass Eye, and Jam.

For once, I am gleefully concordant; Four Lions is without a doubt my second favourite film of 2010.

It was a pretty amazing film. I was kinda worried about how they'd wrap things up.
They struck a balance in the middle, I guess.

I fucking love Four Lions, excellent film. I would say anyone who enjoyed In The Loop should watch this, there's no real crossover of talent but the people in charge of both started off working together and scratch similar comedy shapes.

Fuck mini babybels.

Four Lions is absolutely incredible. Not only in how hilarious it is, but in the fact that like someone above mentioned, it pulls NO punches. It is a dark, dark film, and one that actually manages to have some actual insight on how suicide bombers aren't inherently evil, just dumb people who are manipulated by those who don't want to kill themselves.
