Four Lions

[carl carlson]

Watched this last night and can't make up my mind about it. I usually like Chris Morris stuff, the guy is a comic genius IMHO but the jury is still out on it. Funny in place but kind of sad (not sad as in cry sad just sad as in the 4 idiot suicide bombers, then again suicide bombers are all idiots anyway).

Watched it last night for the first time, and I agree that it has some thought-provoking moments. And a couple where your jaw drops when you realise what has just happened.

But lots of really funny ones. I've been chuckling all morning.

I'd definitely recommend it. One of the funniest things I've seen for a long time.

I'm with the OP. Watched it a few weeks ago now and found it amusing in parts. But the overall impression was that is just not a topic to be made light of in Morris way. I appreciate that is his "thing" though, maybe it's just not for me.

If anything it's rather scary, you know full well that there are people out there as stupid as those 4.

I thought it was funny but was sad in the sense that there are people out there as stupid as those 4.

i think the ending should've been alot lot lighter

that just went against the whole vein of the film.
