Review of Four Lions (2010) by Gitbo — 03 Jan 2011
First, the movie is nearly unintelligible because the English accents are so thick. I think I missed half the movie because I just couldn't understand what the characters said. However, the movie is seriously unfunny and borderline racist.
While I understand this is a black comedy, the difference between this and, say, Fargo, (a truly masterful black comedy) is substantial. The specter of innocents being obliterated by bumbling jihadists is simply too gruesome to be truly funny.
A disturbing work that epitomizes "too soon.
