Four Lions & the US of A

Posted by Maximum Fun on 25th October 2010

One of the best films we saw at Sundance this year was Chris Morris’ Four Lions. It’s a satirical look at a London-based group of terrorists. UK-born terrorists, specifically. In the Q&A after the film, Morris talked about the sheer idiocy of terrorists he’d read about in his research, and he was unflinching in satirizing the would-be murderers. What’s most remarkable about the film, though, is that these horrible, horrible doofuses are also quite human. That’s a pretty remarkable achievement in my book.

The movie opens in a couple of cities November 5th, and it spreads across the country from there. Don’t miss it.
