Four Lions follows a small group of British extremists as they chase visions of glory and push their plans toward disaster. Their clashes of ideology and growing incompetence turn the situation into a tense, emotionally engaging farce that feels all too plausible.

About
Choose this if you want daring British dark satire with bold, chaotic farce; Not for you if you’re sensitive to jokes about terrorism or need a consistently easy laugh—try instead In the Loop or Fresh Meat.
Pros: sharply written satire; laugh-out-loud moments; memorable clumsy crew | Cons: very offensive subject; hit-or-miss humour; uncomfortable to watch
