Very much excited about seeing what Chris Morris does with his new feature called ‘Four Lions’. As quoted from the Mirror newspaper:
“Described as doing for the modern face of terrorism what “This Is Spinal Tap” did for heavy metal and “Dr Strangelove” the Cold War, “Four Lions” tells the story of a group four wannabe suicide bombers from the North of England.”
The clip floating about online looks good and feedback from Sundance festival also sounds positive.
In the meantime, I’m going to geek out on my DVD’s of ‘The Day Today’ and ‘Brass Eye’.

I really wanted to like Four Lions… but sadly a brave film doesn’t necessarily make it a good one.
Chris Morris’s constant attempts to turn it into a slapstick comedy undermines the important message behind the film and dilutes it all into a superficial exercise.
Not a disaster, but it could have been so much better…
