Four Lions

Chris Morris is no stranger to controversy, rising to infamy during the nineties with news spoof The Day Today on the BBC, which also saw the first emergence of Steve Coogan’s Alan Partridge, and later with current affairs piss take Brasseye on Channel 4, where each episode would follow a particular topic, and dupe celebrities into railing around these fictional causes, such as the awareness campaign for new designer drug Cake. The show also ranks number three on the list of most complaints, for its paedophile special.
Morris recently made is film debut , serving as both director and co writer, with Four Lions. The film follows the story of a group of jihadi Islamist terrorists from sheffield. The film is both hilarious and scary, but not in an Evil Dead 2 kinda way, the humour comes from the idiocy of the terrorists and farcical way in which they go about everything, in much the way the Home Guard did in Dad’s Army. But the scares don’t come from knife wielding maniacs or ravenous zombie hordes, no the scares come during the humdrum daily grind moments, such as the scene where ring leader Omar is sitting at his kitchen table, and openly discussing blowing himself up with his wife and son. Its these scenes that are scary, scary because to these guys this is everyday life, and they truly believe what their doing is right, in the greater good of God. 
But it’s the fact that all of the characters within the group, bar Barry, the white Islamic convert, are all very likable, which brings you to points where your almost routing for them.
The funniest and most thought provoking film of I’ve seen all year.

Also I'd recommend, as follow up reading, The Islamist by Ed Husain, the truestory of Ed's involemnet with extremist islam, what he saw and why he left it behind.
