7/10
Very funny and very sad...

FOUR LIONS

This film is a black comedy about a group of terrorists in England that are planning to suicide bomb London. The problem is, they have no idea what they are doing.

This film was funny. It was very entertaining watching these guys argue whether to bomb Boots or a mosque.

The training they go through and the things they do to set up their terror attack is just pure comedy. These guys are idiots and have no clue what they are doing. The sad thing is they are still dangerous.

Riz Ahmed, Kayvan Novak, Nigel Lindsay & Adeel Akhtar star in this movie. The acting was really good. They were all very convincing and funny. I really like Adeel Akhtar. I think he has such a funny face. He is one of my favourite characters in the TV comedy Trollied and he was as funny in this. Kayvan Novak was also really funny in this. He played a complete dimwit. It was like he could not think for himself. He even had one of my favourite lines in the movie (see the end of the review for quote). I laughed so much. The only problem I would say that I had with this movie was that sometimes they were talking so fast that I struggled to understand what they said. But I did find it funny when they started talking in English and mid sentence went into Indian.

Even though the film is a comedy, there were some very sad moments. There is a bit of drama and that is not nice in places. But if you are making a film about terrorism and suicide bombers, you have to expect the drama element. In a way you grow to like some of these guys even though you know what they are planning is wrong. I completely disagreed with their actions and their thoughts, but as the film went on there were a few characters that were really likable.

This film is funny, sad and in some places disturbing.

I will give it 7 out of 10.

"I'm not confused brother! I just took picture of my face, and it's deffo not my confused face."
