Decent film - next best £4 at Asda

A handful of young men set out to take on the decadent West but are more of a threat to themselves than anyone else in this black comedy from teh creator of BRASS EYE, Chris Morris. Omar (Riz Ahmed) is a devout Muslim living in the United Kingdom who has decided to form a terrorist cell to bring forth a jihad against a culture he believes is dominated by the sinful and ignorant. However, Omar isn't much of leader, and he's assembled an unimpressive team of fellow terrorists, among them Waj (Kayvan Novak), who lacks the brainpower to come up with ideas or direction on his own; Faisal (Adeel Akhtar), who is shy and doesn't have much to say; and Barry (Nigel Lindsay), a recent convert to Islam who tries to make up for his lack of practical knowledge with fierce passion. As Omar and his comrades debate both doctrine and methods, they ponder such notions as using birds as explosive devices, creating video communiqués with a hip-hop flavor, and attacking mosques in an effort to provoke non-violent Muslims. But are Omar and his partners a legitimate threat to the safety of Great Britain, or just four half-bright twenty-somethings with more bluster than imagination?

    I can't believe it took 8 minutes for somebody to post that on a Four Lions thread on here. HotUKDeals standards are definitely slipping.
    pffffft
    Despite rave reviews this was a film that, because of its subject matter, I thought I would not find funny before I saw it. Then I saw it and yes it is funny, despite its dark subject matter. Slow till about half way through, then it picks up. Either way worthy of a watch at this price and Heat added.

    I am the Invisible Jihadi! They seek him here, they seek him there, but he's not there, he's blowing up your **** sister!

    Never really gave this a second thought till I saw the trailer on another dvd. Glad I did as I thought it was really good when I finally watched it.

    Barry: What's with the gun?
    Waj: Proper replica man.
    Barry: It's too small man!
    Waj: Not too small, brother. Big hands!

    This is a great movie and as a muslim it didn't offend me but did humanise the disillusioned young men who follow empty causes like this. They are normal guys like you and I, they weren't born like this. Great film - endearing, funny and typical Chris Morris. Should do a sequel about the impressionable youngsters who fall into gang culture or extreme right-wing groups.

    "Why do we need a training camp anyway? We're primed. We don't need some tramp up a mountain tellin' us to set a fuse. We don't need some **** Steptoe telling us when to go."

    The irony is, these radicals/terrorists are often portrayed as being "typical Muslims" and yet it's the fact they don't even understand their own religion which makes them easy prey for renegade evil preachers who look out for these confused and angry lads with absolutely no direction in life. In my view, it's this minority of imams who are hijacking their own religion for the sake of their own hatred and hunger to kill non-Muslims (and even fellow Muslims!!!) around the world, who need to be hunted down.
