This is British dark comedy at it's best, with great casting, good performances and quirky but dark political comment.
Mainly new faces, so no more of the old same old.....
Comedy writer Christopher Morris makes his feature directorial debut with this outrageous comedy about a group of young Islamic Brits who fancy themselves bloodthirsty jihadis of the first order. Co-written with Simon Blackwell, the film showcases Morris's satirical talents at their vicious best in a scathingly hilarious indictment of true believers and the social systems that create them.

A very brave movie, great to see this subject tackled with some sense of realism and bungling humour..found it a bit clunky in places..think the directing could have been a whole lot better. Overall... Read more
well worth a watch- very serious and tragic.This movie had promise, but just never delivered. Poorly written and just not very funny. It was one of those movies where you are waiting for it to improve, but the end credits come before it does.
The best darama-comedy about English-born jihadist suicide bombers of 2010. Hilarious, but also weirdly believable (to a point).
A little unusual. Absolutely hilarious in places, rather sad and tragic in others. More dramedy than comedy. Absolutely stand out acting - from what I assume is a no name cast even within the UK... Read more

resist that. Doesn't make fun or insult any victims at all, the film is about making fun of four bumbling idiots which many criminals often are.I have to say this movie is an insult to all those who have died at the hand of suicide bombers. Not funny, not funny at all, incredible bad taste actually.
This was not funny and was just bad. We had to stop watching after about half an hour.
Surprised there hasn't been a fatwa put on Chris Morris, maybe hard-line Islamism has a dark sense of humour because this is this blackest of black comedy. Amazing stuff. If you love it hunt down early... Read more
tv show Brasseye - never shown on NZ tv but total class, like Fast Show x10.This movie was turned off after 20 minutes of complete disbelief. About as stupid as a Pink Panther movie. Of the 20 minutes we saw it was chunky in direction and inane in its black humour. I understand... Read more
that genre and usually enjoy it but this one was too distasteful for me.
