Chris Morris's "Four Lions" looks fantastic!

My wife was on a Piccadilly Line train when the bombs went off. If she'd set off for work a few minutes earlier she might not be alive. As far as I know she wants to see the film.
 
Saw this today and thought it was great, very very funny, loved it when they went to training camp in Pakistan.

Dunno whether its cause I live in Sheffield or because of the film but the screen I was in was packed.

Some little things really annoyed me though, like the fact that they were supposed to be running the London marathon but they were still in Sheffield and running in the middle of town, the tv's on the trams and the way they were in supposed to be in Meadowhall but they weren't. Silly things I know but it just got to me.
 
Finally got around to seeing this yesterday.

It didn't quite hit my expectations and annoyingly I felt like I'd seen most of the film from watching the preview clips months ago. Film would have been much funnier if I hadn't.

He did something quite interesting tho. He mixed comedy with a serious and at times, sad message. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who wanted the last two bombers to survive at the end.

Was it just me or did the police officer ask about her "brother in law" at the hospital.
 
It's to the film maker's credit that you do feel an empathy for the main characters as you see that they are caught up in something way beyond their control and you actually feel sorry for them.

I say this as a pretty right wing thinking kind of person who would have happily nuked most of the Middle East after 7/7 so do not mistake me for a Liberal tree hugger.

Go see the film and find out for yourself. :)
 
I bought this today and it's still as good as it was in the cinema.

Noticed a few funny things I didn't notice in the cinema-like
Omar's brother's cupboard actually being full of women having tea when they get raided.
 
I saw it last night followed by a Q&A with Chris Morris, the other writers and two of the actors.
I laughed out loud several times and was amused throughout.it's meticuously researched, brilliantly played by the lead actors and an important film. I have a muslim background and frankly I think it should be shown in every mosque around the world.
 
went to see this last night and was laughing from the beginning. I absolutely loved it even though i hated some of Morris' other stuff - the cinema had mostly asian people in who were all in fits laughing aswell so i dont see why people have such a problem with it.

Waj (fonejacker) is excellent as is Omar the main character, infact they were all brilliant - my frienRAB and i have been sending random texts all day to each other with quotes " rubber dinghy rapiRAB innit" "brotha" " fcuk mini babybel" - worth a watch for sure :D
 
I saw a review of this on UTV's news programme last night and the reviewer couldn't say enough good things about the film. I think that maybe in Northern Ireland we can look upon terrorism and anything that senRAB up the mentality with a certain degree of gallows humour but I really want to see it, I think it probably won't be shown in any of the multiplexes over here though. They showed the clip with the characters buying the hydrogen peroxide and I was in tears from laughing. I do want to see it.
 
Saw it last night and thought it was great. The characters are really well drawn and it had me, and the rest of the audience, laughing out loud. I think it's important to laugh at terrorists.
9/10
 
They don't but the media are telling them they should.

It is a little bit like what happened after the Brass Eye Paedophilia special. Morris was ripping it out the media but the media portrayed it as something totally different to try and turn people against Morris.
