Chris Morris (of Brass Eye and The Day Today fame) doesn’t seem to like to get out of bed unless he’s doing something that can be described as edgy and controversial. His first feature film as writer/director, Four Lions, is no exception, taking the very serious subject of radicalist Muslim suicide bombers and turning it into a comedy about would-be jihadists, hampered by the fact they’re complete idiots. The film premiered to mixed reviews at Sundance, with some responding to its satrical wit, while others said it was too silly and trying to be controversial for its own sake. Now a UK trailer for the movie has popped up online, which you can watch by clicking below. The film should be in cinemas on May 7th.
So when is the Daily Mail going to start getting upset about this then?
