FOUR LIONS

Four British Mujahideen wannabes plan to make a statement with an ambitious attack that will spill blood by the bucketful. Their main problem is that they can't decide whose blood must be spilled. Furthermore, the group seems to pose more of a danger to themselves rather than anyone else. These budding jihadists treat suicide missions like a walk in the park, but, as they will soon realize, they are in fact serious business. However, Islamic fundamentalists are not the only butt of Christopher Morris's notorious satirical gifts; uptight and double-faced British politicians get their own fair share too - along with pretty much everyone else. But underneath the comic effect, "Four Lions" examines pressing social problems and explores the traits that set a martyr apart from an idiot - if there are any, that is.
