Review: Four Lions



The film that finally shows the link between Toploader and Terrorism that we've long expected, Four Lions features the trademark wordplay that you've come to expect from Chris Morris but alongside several surprisingly moving moments in place the vicious streak made famous in Brasseye.

This will leave those expecting more of the infamous Paedophilia episode disappointed, yet they both argue against the culture of fear in our society - where Brasseye rallied against the Media's dramatisation of news, Four Lions suggests we need not live our life in total fear of Terrorism due to the Stag-like mentality of many a plot - and that tackling this myth through comedy may just be the most effective way of tackling this problem.
