A British black comedy that tries to offer a little insight along the way, Four Lions is about a group of British-born muslims who decide to go extremist. Their accents, egos and clumsiness make this feel like an Ali G movie only they're missing two things: humour and pacing. Given this, the absence of a soundtrack was glaring and it almost felt like a film from the 1920s where the glory was in simply having a picture on the screen rather than its content or technical skill. I haven't made it past halfway in two viewings and I'm unlikely to try again soon so I class this as unwatchable - unless muslims running around with British accents is comedy enough for you. That said, the camera quality was good and there's always the possibility it improves wildly in the second half. I doubt it.
