Four Lions tells the story of a group of British jihadists who push their abstract dreams of glory to the breaking point. As the wheels fly off, and their competing ideologies clash, what emerges is an emotionally engaging (and entirely plausible) farce. In a storm of razor-sharp verbal jousting and large-scale set pieces, Four Lions is a comic tour de force; it shows that-while terrorism is about ideology-it can also be about idiots.
伊斯兰现代化冲突的喜剧缩影。笑死之后又有点不知所措。动物乐园。哭笑不得。四头狮子。真正的喜剧之王。所谓平等，所谓博爱。傻逼伊斯兰极端主义。宗教的意义。被扭曲的狮子王。
