| Is this gun too small? |
I take back what I said in my Panique au Village, this is my favourite film of the year. It's about a group of jihadhi who want to make their statement on the world so after a bunch of dud decisions (including blowing up the mosque) they come to a decision to bomb the London Marathon, this fails and in quite a bitter ending glazed with comedy, there ends that rare thing: a poignant comedy. The laughs are many but its tackling a very dark subject: suicide bombings. Not to mention all the people that you've grown a bond with during the film meet their end, all of them in a funny way (Faisal trips over a sheep whilst carrying explosives) except Waj who you really feel for.
Serious stuff over: this film is hilarious, Omar, Hassan, Waj, Faisal and um......Barry all put in stellar performances as confused bombers who are out of their depths, Faisal is my favourite but it could well have been any of them but have you ever seen someone try to fly a crow into a building? I dont think so and his ignorance is the funniest thing about it (when you watch it, listen to his variety of voices) and he was the first martyr of the final jihadhi.

In conclusion, this film hits every button on comedy whilst making it a sensible and serious plot at the same time, I learned never to give a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Heimlich from watching this film.

Verdict:9.2/10
