Review #7631 - Dated: 18th of February, 2013 Author: mizim |
This is a brilliant movie. It is utterly hilarious whilst at the same time creating such flawed characters (and so very, very competent actors) so as to feel fully believable. The movie follows a small group of Muslim British men who decide to become suicide bombers and their journey from getting along with each other to figuring out just what to bomb.
So often, these days, when you watch a movie, the main character, no matter what their aim, has everything eventually fall in to place no matter what happens during the start and middle of a film. For these guys, nothing seems to be going right, and provides so many laughs. This is one of the funniest movies that I have ever watched and I can't recommend it highly enough.
Big ups to director, Christopher Morris, who spent three years researching for this film, so that it was as honest in the ways that it could be, as was possible. He even sent a copy of the script to a former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Moazzam Begg, to check that it wouldn't be offensive. The actors are flawless, they are superb in everything they do, I'm sure though that there must be an out-takes reel somewhere full of nothing but them laughing, as how they kept a straight face at times....
