Film Fight 2010: May

It may be a few weeks late, but the Film Fight for May is an extremely light one with only one film.

Four Lions is another interesting piece of comedy from Chris Morris. The premise is a comedy that follows a few would-be suicide bombers from their hometowns to training camps and back. Rather than being mean-spirited or relying on controversy, what we get is a great British farce as we see how absolutely incompetent most of the crew are. There are a few stark moments, but it’s almost entirely silly, poking fun at the idea of the bombers and their ridiculous scheme. (See my Four Lions Twitter review).

And the winner is… Four Lions. Obviously.
