Review by
Chris Morris' unrestrained and courageous direction of a story about homegrown British jihads is easily provocative and may not be to everyone's good taste, but with a winning script and bursts of creatively biting terrorism satire, 'Four Lions' delivers stand-out acting from leads Riz Ahmed and Kayvan Novak in an ensemble cast of surprisingly endearing characters whose comical misadventures with homemade explosives lead to a unexpectedly startling and unnerving climax that brilliantly captures the true horror of the war-on-terrorism.
