Who Says Terrorism Can't Be Funny? The First Proper Trailer For Chris Morris' FOUR LIONS Says Otherwise!

Inappropriate and in bad taste? Quite possibly. But funny? Oh, yes, indeed. The first proper trailer for Chris Morris' terrorism comedy Four Lions - a big hit at Sundance earlier this year - has arrived on the scene and it has taken me rather a long time to post it up because rather than writing about it I've been watching it over and over and over again. Morris is one of the sharpest, nastiest and funniest satirists in the world when he is on his game and, yes indeedy, he appears to be right on point with this tale of inept, home grown, would be bombers. Beware the crows.

I wouldn't mind seeing this again with subtitles. Kind of hard to hear with all that accent.

Yeah, I agree. I only got about half of what they said. The half that I got, though, is pretty damn funny.

Probably the upcoming release I'm most excited about right now. I can't wait.

No offence guys, but I always find it funny that we (Brits) don't have any trouble understanding American regional dialects, but so many Americans need help with ours!

Anyway, the film looks great (though it won't show in my crappy 'family friendly summer blockbusters only' Odeon).
