Terrorism comedy delights audience

Four Lions centers around five (yes five, despite what the title implies) Muslims living in London who radicalize and formulate a plan to commit massive jihad during the London Marathon. Even though two of them have completed terrorist training with disastrous results, they manage to bumble through and carry out their plans.

The movie presents a hilarious take on the very sensitive and controversial subject of terrorism. Although the men excel in attitude and drive, their follow-through is positively imbecilic. The men know their explosives and procedure, but they can not seem to pull off either successfully.

With all the humorous antics and quick, witty dialog, it is very hard to remember that the movie is about terrorism. Not that it is a bad thing.

Four Lions gives the world a chance to laugh at a subject that has had many living in fear since 9/11. This movie also marks director Chris Morris's first feature film. While, it has received mixed reviews, its success in making the audience laugh far outweighs any plot inconsistencies or slow moments.

While Four Lions is the perfect definitive of dark comedy, this movie will have people in stitches. Try to look past the heavy situation presented in the movie and focus on the goofy antics and light, fast-paced dialog.
