Four Lions was funnier as this had some lulls but it never stopped being entertaining. The thing that separates it from Morris' previous work is that there's a strange amount of heart in how Moses is handled. By the end I was a little emotional. That's not to say it's a drama; it's still a comedy and Morris has proved that he can nail this black comedy/satire. There are some really intelligent lines here and I like how he just goes for it. "It's just killing a few fucking kids, Jesus Christ."

It's proof to me that Americanized-thinned-down Chris Morris does not work at all. After Four Lions, a slow and very sorry demise of a comedy legend it is.

How is it that, without fail, British comedies never manage to make the leap across the pond? The Four Lions was an astounding accomplishment and this is like a cheap copycat that fails to show any meaningful understanding of anything it's trying to satirize and instead chooses to regurgitate cliche after cliche that it gleaned from watching re-runs of the Colbert Report. And how is it after the nuanced acting of The Four Lions, nearly everyone in this movie barely tries? Very disappointing.

I think Four Lions is a perfect, visceral film, so maybe my expectations were too high. Still, there's much more compassion here towards the unwitting 'terrorists'. This is pretty funny, but not funny enough. And perhaps also not tragic enough. But that's why it's completely real and political and hard hitting at the end.

It doesn't quite hit the highs or lows of Four Lions, but Chris Morris walks a really impressive tightrope of satire, silliness and tragedy. Goes from ridiculous to heart-breaking so skilfully. Perhaps most impressive of all is you come out genuinely second guessing whether any of the sillier details are pure fiction or lifted from one of the "100 true stories" on which the film is based. Masterful stuff.
