Four British Muslims decide that they would like to become terrorists because they want to do something significant and meaningful. Okay, before you freak out, this is actually a ridiculously funny satire from a very bold filmmaker.Yes, the idea of a couple of rogue jihadists is essentially quite scary but it also makes for some outrageous scenes involving homemade explosives. While many will not appreciate the humour in this, the writers and director have not completely disregarded the inherent seriousness of the matter. If you look past the witty remarks and comedy of errors you’ll find the social comment you might be looking for. I love this ballsy film simply because it forces us to lighten up and laugh at ourselves.
Rating: 4 outta 5.
