Quint has seen Chris Morris' suicide bomber comedy FOUR LIONS at Sundance 2010!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. When I posted my preview list of my most anticipated Sundance films I caught a lot of flack from our UK readers for not including this title, the first feature film from Chris Morris best known for the series BRASS EYE and THE DAY TODAY, which I’m ashamed to say I’m totally ignorant of.
To make my penance I used up my one press ticket request for Saturday on the premiere screening of this film.
In attendance was director Chris Morris as well as all four of the title characters, played by Riz Ahmed, Kayvan Novak, Nigel Lindsay and Arsher Ali.
Basically this is a crazy comedy about suicide bombers. Yeah, seriously. These London born Muslims seem to be driven to join the Mujahideen for some reason… but the problem is they’re all kind of dumbasses.
Well, except for Riz Ahmed who plays Omar… he’s the only one of the group that seems to be genuinely into the idea of blowing himself up for the greater glory. We get the impression that he’s not exactly against Western civilization on the whole, but wrapped up in the rhetoric and the idea of the express lane to heaven.
But even Riz fucks up a whole lot, including a spectacular attempt to shoot down a US drone plane while at a training camp in Pakistan with a missile launcher that he very obviously doesn’t know how to use.
It’s hard to describe the comedy in the movie because it’s a little bit of everything. There’s slapstick in it, most specifically a great scene where the five members of the group have to move volatile explosives after their car breaks down… it’s kind of a like the comedy version of WAGES OF FEAR, but on foot… of course by the end of this scene the five man group is a four man group.
So there’s that, but there’s also some subtler stuff, like Omar sharing a sweet family moment that in another film would be a light scene about something innocent… a young son giving the kind of little kid support we all grow out of at some point before the pubes grow out that ends in the mother, father and kid all holding hands and looking lovingly at each other. That does happen in this movie, but the kid’s essentially telling his father to get himself up to heaven and blow the shit out of the some innocent people.
The clear audience favorite character was the “thick as fudge” Waj, played by Kayvan Novak. He’s a big dumb puppy of a guy whose heart seems to be more in following Omar than any real desire to join the Mujahideen. These kinds of group comedies need that borderline retarded member… And most examples I can think of, like Galifianakis in The Hangover, steal the show. Kayvan’s no exception and you know that from the opening frames of the movie, video footage as he’s trying to make a terrorist tape and insists on holding a miniature plastic AK-47 despite the protests of the cameraman who says it looks silly. It’s too small! Waj’s solution? Scoot in closer to the camera so the gun will look bigger.
That leaves the rapping extremist Hassan played by Arsher Ali and the converted cockney white dude turned Muslim Extremist Barry played by Nigel Lindsay. Ali’s Hassan has more whacky moments, but Lindsay plays Barry as a tough-ass who projects a dangerous angry “fuck the world” attitude, but always stops just before crossing the line whenever pressed.
I liked the cast and Chris Morris and his writing team of Jesse Armstrong, Sam Bain and Simon Blackwell obviously are very funny people, but the movie isn’t a flawless rush of laughs. There are some jokes that didn’t work very well for me. Just small things, but the small things add up sometimes to whole scenes that just pass by. However the movie definitely ends on a high note with our group deciding to bomb the London Marathon, dressed up in ridiculous costumes (the run is for a kid’s charity). Barry dresses as a Ninja Turtle. Gotta love that. And a Wookie gets shot by a police sniper told to aim for the one dressed as a bear.
Ultimately it’s a good comedy, not a great comedy. General audiences might have some trouble with the thick UK accents, but I can this becoming a popular college town release. If nothing else it’s a premise you’re unlikely to see anywhere else!
Here’s a clip to give you a taste of the flick:

I'll pay to see this on general principal.

Sorry, I couldn't resist

I'll give this one a rent.

Wow, will this director meet a better fate than the last guy who made a movie about muslim terrorists? (ie, dead in the street with a note pinned to his chest with a knife?)
When the UK is producing one suicide bomber after another, is this really a rich vein of comedy? Outside of Yemen, the UK is one of the new hotbeds for jihad and yeah, for 'some reason' they can't quite put a finger on, these guys want to be suicide bombers. Like those 6 UK doctors who tried to drive SUVs packed with explosives into the airport, for 'some reason'. Things that make you go "Hmmmm" I guess. -
These guys for taking shots at those pedophilac Islambs.
-
There are hundreds of millions of Arabs and Muslims in the world, a very small number of whom are terrorists or suicide bombers or crazy, murderous zealots. Yet these are the predominant portrayals of Arabs and Muslims in Western films.
How about for once portraying an Arab as heroic or as an average working man. There are some bad Middle Easterners out there, and many with backward ways of thinking, but there are many more who are decent, upstanding people. But the film industry does not want to recognize that, they would rather perpetuate stereotypes and demonize a race of people. -
Though the lead is a criminal he's definitely not crazy nor is he heroic. And also he's one of the most promising young actors I've seen in a while.
-
Hate that pompous git.
-
I really think that if we can just bring the humanity of this "War on Terror" to the forefront and start examine in this way we can make serious headway in moving past our fears. Look, shit's gonna blow up. That's just the way it is. More and more shit is gonna blow up. At least that's what the news tells us. But if it's these boneheads doing it(and in a lot of cases it is) it kinda makes it less scary. Until the bus you're on explodes that is. Whatever. Just a thought. Can't wait to see this.
-
I spent a short while in England and got hooked on this show. I imported the DVD of it a coupla years back and I show it to anyone/everyone who comes over as it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I can't wait to see this movie. Morris is absolutely insane!
-
rimshot!
thank you and good night and drive safe. -
All his stuff is worth tracking down: THE DAY TODAY, JAM, BRASS EYE, NATHAN BARLEY...

best thing he's ever done. so far.

And they're all rubbish. No, they are rubbish. It's frankly embarassing. 'Shoe bomber', I'm looking at you. Hopefully this film'll force them to raise their game.
-
...of mine, anyway.Brasseye & The Day Today were, and still are, at the vanguard of satirical comedy.Morris is the bravest and funniest film/program maker in the world.If you don't believe that, then you haven't watched Brasseye &The Dat Today.He makes Sacha Baron Cohen, Ricky Gervais and rest of his contemporaries seem like like hearted giggles when compared to Morris' taboo pushing insanity.Morris is the only satirical/comedic filmmaker i'd call an artist and his move into cinema is a major event. Even if this isn't perfect, i'm sure that coming features will be.BTW, the film's actor Kayvan Novak has become a cult figure in the UK with his prank phone call series FONEJACKER. He's proven himself a master of assuming wildly, ethnically diverse personalities in the league of Peter Sellers, while his identity is hidden under a balaclava.
-
This will be superb. Morris is a comedy god. Got that, dollsnatch?

You know what waits for you beyond that horrific, murderous destruction? Immortality! Take it, it's yours!

Never understood why he did The It Crowd.
Brought My Wrongs a few years back and loved it.. -
i want to see it based off of that clip.

Looks awesome, but what's all this nonsense about the UK being the biggest hotbed of extremism outside of Yemen? I suppose you're the kind of person who thought Saddam sponsored terrorism and had WMD's right? 6 doctors tried to bomb glasgow airport? it was 2.
-
...you are exactly the type of mind Chris Morris has ridiculed through his work for over a decade. IRA bombdogs FTW
-
...borderline retarded member".
No, they don't. It's one of the most popular stereotypes that I just can't see anymore in movies. -

nathan barley was great as well

or should that be decreasing.
-
during the original run of Brass Eye the then controller of Channel 4 Michael Grade and Morris clashed when Grade insisted on edits to the programme. So for the final episode, Morris snuck into the braodcast centre, got a hold of the broadcast master tape and put a one-frame message "Michael Grade is a Cunt" which was then broadcast to the entire UK. Its one of the single most balls-out television moments with have here in the UK. The Brass Eye Peadophile special is awesome too. Anything he is involved with is worth a watch. The only problem with The Day Today is that if you watch it nowadays its hard to take modern news programming seriously ever again.
-
Chris Morris' greatest work will always be the Brass Eye Paedophile special. That show recieved more complaints than any other in the history of British broadcasting. Ironically, it was designed to take the piss out of the media.
-
Muki, I thought the Jerry Springer opera stole that crown?
-
http://bit.ly/5YsC2t - maybe it's not so funny if you don't recognise the Brit celebs involved, but it's a thing of fake current affairs genius.
-
..."He said he didn't like it, but he'd have to go along with it."
...please, please, please tell me Peter O'Hanrahanrahan is in this. -
The only time I have ever laughed-out-loud whilst tutting disapprovingly - Chris Morris is a genius! I couldn't believe half the stuff that he got away with (or didn't, given the complaints). Thanks to palimpsest or the link, you should all watch it and find out what you missed - BEWARE THE EYES OF JEZ NORTH!
Brilliant stuff, I'll probably check out that film too! -
every currently rated british comedian refers to Chris Morris. If he was dead, he would be in the same league as Bill Hicks. fact. I am expecting 4 lions to be deliciously subtle in places and a massive cult hit in the UK. As ever with the darker british comedy, the states wont fully appreciate it, a lot will, most wont. Sacha Cohen owes a lot of his style to Chris Morris. From Garth Merenghi to Boosh, to IT Crowd and Gervais. Morris started it all with the Day Today. I for one am gunning for this!
-
I do not know wot 'clarky cat' means!
-
For going out of your way to see this.
I had a slight inkling that Chris Morris wouldn't translate from the half-hour format to the 90 minute feature, but I guess we'll see. I also reckon his style of comedy takes a little getting used to and I've known a few Americans who were left totally bemused by Brass Eye, which is to me one of the funniest programs ever made. I still highly recommend you scout down his work, Q-man.
By the way, I totally agree with whoever said we need comedy to deflate this still-burning and totally out of proportion terrorist fear. Chaplin and Lubitsch released The Great Dictator and To Be or Not to Be, two movies which turned Hitler into a joke and helped boost the allies' morale more than any propaganda movies ever could. -

'Live pigs are being exploded to simulate terrorist attacks'
by lone fox
Actual report in today's Sunday Times. 'Scientists for the Abolition of Vivisection Union questioned the tests validity, saying the effect of a bomb on an anaesthetised pig would differ substantially from those of a conscious human being.' Brilliant.
-
Jam, and the first season of Spaced, are my two most favorite piece's of British comedy television of the last decade. Sure, there's been some good stuff over the years but Jam and Spaced are special to me. Nice to see so many fans of Morris here.
-
Brass Eye is an addictive drug like the boz-boz...or the jessop jessop jessop.
-
That is all...
-
sniffing a keyboard which supposedly gives out an aroma that causes kids to be more suggestable, then saying "I feel more suggestable already" was the best bit of the Paedophile special
-
is the tits
-
I didn't know that about the Grade cock insert (flash-frame;) Thanks! Would i find it in the Religion episode? You said the final one (or did you mean Pedogeddon ???

I thought the attack on Glasgow airport was one doctor and one engineer in that jeep?
-
...around for years. Of course, it was never going to go anywhere, so this looks like fun...there's megatons of humor to be mined in terrorism.
-
It knocked Noel Edmonds' career into limbo for more than a decade.
-
...Century...an Exposé.
-
I'll definitely be watching this when I get a chance to. Just concerned it might effect my Shatner's Bassoon, which would be awful considering there are trams in Nottingham, and I might end up thinking I've got a month to move out of there way.
-
There were a few really inspired pieces, like that feelie keyboard someone mentioned earlier, and it's always nice to see Z-listers joining some moral crusade just to get a little more exposure. It's just got a way lower hit-rate than the Drugs episode, for example. I think I'd agree with whoever said Jam was Morris' masterpiece, though damn near everything he did is worth checking out.
One of my favourite things he did was the "Why Bother?" record with Peter Cook, just a month or two before he died. Listen to it here: http://tinyurl.com/9y37tf -
...have passed this movie by...the bar has been raised. I don't laugh at terrorists anymore unless someone's nutsack gets incinerated at 35,000 ft.

Dr_Proteus, STRANGELY, I DIDN'T LIKE NATHAN BARLEY.....
by tehcreepythinman
When I heard that Morris and Charlie Brooker were doing a collab I thought it was a fucking great idea but I didn't take to it. It had it's moments but overall I wasn't impressed.
-
It's in a jar mate...
-
I'm pretty sure the message was removed from all other versions of the episode. Its not on the DVD.
-
hardly....lol
-
you sir...are a fag
-
Bugger!
What a legend though. He sat on an adjacent table at short film night, The Halloween Society; also across from me on the tube. Both times i wanted to hug the bugger for for being such a genius. He'd have told me to fuck off, so just as well i didn't.
CAKE has to be the best ep of Brasseye, though i love DJ Dr Fox telling us that ""paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you and me"...
The DVD has a superb commentary by homeless men given free beer so long as they watch the CAKE ep. -
An overdose of heroin is fatal - in the short term. But there has been no research whatsoever into long term effects....cant wait for this.

Waka_Flocka_Flame, OR MAYBE I LIKE A BIT MORE TO MY SHOWS.....
by tehcreepythinman
The problem was that there were no middle ground with the characters. It was either up-to-the-second fad obsessed spazoids like Barley (played by Nicholas Burns) or dull, dreary and morose characters like Dan Ashcroft (Julian Barratt). Even in a show like Spaced, yeah, there's all sorts of crazy shit going on but once in a while the characters have a "real" moment and feel like actual human beings. Nathan Barley is filled with characatures and not in a good way such as The League of Gentlemen.
-
of people happy to stand up and proclaim Morris as the bravest and funniest TV program maker out there. Hopefully his foray into film will be equally as entertaining.A note to Kal Reeve - whilst the portrayal of Arabs and Muslim peoples in mainstream hollywood remains depressingly stereotyped, I think films such as this NEED to be made. Contrary to more generic works that simply adopt vague generalisations out of lazyness or unconcious low-level rascism, here we have a film prepared to directly mock a very specific group of people that everyone remains terrified to offend - namely the comparitively small collective of extremists and terrorists. And mock them we should, because...well...fuck them, basically.Obviously the danger lies in instead offending a broad majority but I trust Morris more than most to pick his targets carefully. I suspect that whatever the content there will be a knee-jerk 'Life of Brian' style response from those who should know better.Finding comedy in the darkest of subjects is an important part of human survival. Whether Morris has pulled it off is another question entirely

CHARBROILED
-
But judging from the clip, Morris is both taking the piss out of these extremists fools whilst making the characters in his film both likeable and recognisably human.
-
Fuck you. The rest of the world manages to cope very well thanks with every US accent from Houston to the Bronx without complaint. Are you lot just fucking lazy?
-
That's rich coming from a Texan. We don't make films exclusively for Americans.
-
We don't know if there are any scenes set in the Forest of Dean, Glasgow or Yorkshire yet. I live in this place and I still have no idea what half the people are saying sometimes.
-
yeah you're right, only 2 guys ever prosecuted, possibly a 3rd involved arrested but released in Oz as well. I can't believe all the classic 90's Morris love in here, probably my favourite talkback in a long, long time.
-
It's set in Yorkshire
-
Watch the Chris Morris Pedophile special, it's borderline illegal. Seriously. He pokes fun not at pedophilia but at the media hysteria surrounding it.
-
It's available as a region-free (PAL format) DVD on Amazon.co.uk, and it's one of the most mercilessly evil (read: funny) things I've ever discovered. Some of it is uneven (the man who marries himself), but the stuff that works, works so well it more than makes up for it.
-
Those weren't "UK doctors" they were Indian muslim doctors working in the UK.
-
from brass eye that women are too silly for space.
-
I still laugh at the news report on the commuters going Lord of the Flies after the one hour delay on the train. :)
-
was having a go at, rather the ignorance of people surrounding this and other issue while they claim to care greatly.
-
Amidst the general proclamation of Morris' genius, can I suggest people also check out any recordings you can find of his BBC Radio 1 show? The one that got him fired, on Boxing Day (I forget which year, sorry) is utterly amazing, managing to get golden showers and the word 'skullfuck' into afternoon national radio the day after christmas!
-
the press and celebrities
-
http://tinyurl.com/yfumatm, that and the 9/11 sketch are brilliant.
-
Why is this man still working? He is, without doubt the very touch of shite to any film he's involved with. One character repertoire with no charm or comic timing, a voice designed to irritate and I can only assume friends in high places. The Hangover is ruined by his presence, possibly even more so than Tyson's cameo, making a lackluster comedy actually painful. I actually left the cinema, something I haven't done since trying to sit through Battlefield Earth. Alas I missed the half hour deadline for money back by about five min.
Ended up watching the whole thing at a mate's place. THIS is supposed to have been a comedic highlight of 2009?
Galifianakis is now a major reason why I'll avoid films in future until such time as he learns the rudiments of the art he claims to represent. -
He's on trial in Holland for expressing illegal thoughts about radical islam. No problem with muslims at all, but jihadi death cultists are not cool, hip, or ripe for comedy.
I really hope Morris doesn't run into the kind of 'peaceful' protest that Theo Van Gogh, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Salman Rushdie and so many others have had. People who say anything bad, or sometimes anything at all, about islam, mohammed or jihad (even a cartoon), find out how limited free speech really is. If you're dead, no more speech.
-
In the Hangover. One of the best parts of the movie. Seriously. That being said, I'm not sure what the big deal about The Hangover was. It was funny, yeah, but I just watched Funny People last night, and that was at least as funny as The Hangover.
-
Now this I really want to see. Sounds like a modern-day Strangelove. And perfectly suited to the fucking nuttiness and insane fear-mongering going on in our skies right now, especially in the U.S.
-
and it's funnier than The Hangover and Funny People combined. What the fuck happened to humor in this country? Never seems to be pointed at anything other than our pubic regions, smoking pot, or funny celeb cameos... oh, and judaism.
-
If the rest of the film is as good as that clip then I will be sailing on the good dhip Enjoyment
This is the newwwwwwwwwwwwwwsssssssssssss -
that's what the people it's lampooning are like
-
and thank me later.
-
Talk to me
-
my nuts were conker hard and as big as a saucepan
-
Are you A BozBoz?
-
cracking up! :D
-
when you say the Uk is a "hotbed of extremism". Let me see... just off the top of my head: Timothy McVeigh, the Turner Diaries/Michigan Militia crowd, the Oklahoma University bomber, the Fort Hood shooter, the Atlanta Olympics bomber, the guys from Washington arrested in Pakistan, the New York city bomb plot, the abortion doctor killers, the Black Panthers, the Weather Underground. I'm sure there are plenty more. Also you have a history of supporting the IRA in killig as many UK citizens as possible, you trained murderers, rapists and torturers at the School of the Americas, you supported the Mujihadeen/Taliban and basically ceated Osama bin Laden. Our terrorists are small-fry compared to that pack of cunts.
-
And I have loved everything he's ever been involved in: Day Today, Alan Partridge, Brass Eye, Jam, Nathan Barley, IT Crowd etc.
I'm looking forward to this so much.
And I seriously hope it's nothing like other films that have been mentioned. The Hangover sucked donkey phallus. -
P2P BSH,Custard Ganet,Shatners Basson.Good to have new material out of Morris,best comedy writer ever.
-
The comedy series Monkey Dust already riffed on this back in the early 2000s.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhxQT1d1AvE&feature=fvw -
Chris Morris has basically inspired or been involved in almost all great British comedies since he popped up.
Why hasn't this man received a f*cking OBE yet? -
though I don't think The Dust would even exist without Morris' push into often twisted comedy. Plus doing something live action is a different challenge altogether. But Monkey Dust was first. Fucking amazing series. I presume it never made it to the USA?
Your link was broken, so I'm sticking this one on:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GqneN8DrUI -
good stuff. I've never heard of the series but I'm gonna check it out.
-
but I never done it, I only said I done it so they'd take my tescicles out of the vice.
Monkey Dust was brilliant. Clive and his excuses...genius -
There are numerous clips of the terrorist sketches up on Youtube, but the series as a whole is superb. Be warned it does get VERY dark sometimes...
-
hahahaha. It's a huge step above the shit I see on Adult Swim.
-
Shit, man. I couldn't be any further in!
-
...where Al-Queda terrorists get their asses kicked by John McClane or Rambo. If I see one more action film where the "terrorists" are white computer hackers...
-
and I do mean take care
-
plus I'm not to the point where I think suicide bombers are potentially funny
idiots or not -
but for TV instead of a film?
-
Are the two greatest comedy series of all time.
-
Jesus Christ. We don't have any trouble with the thick Texas accents or thick Minnesota accents in American movies.
Americans and overseas accents...it's like watching a child who's only ever been taught to open one specific kind of door be utterly dumbfounded when faced with a slightly different handle, and cry to his mom that he doesn't know what to do. -
Did he fly in a rocket or fly up a socket?
-
Looking forward to this - for those unfamiliar with his work, I can't emphasise enough what a comedy genius Chris Morris is, and I don't use that word lightly. Real boundary-pushing, head-shakingly hilarious stuff.
-
Chris Morris was in that because Graham Linehan asked him to do it. It really is that simple.
-
fucking brits.
chris morris is a god.
also be careful, hall and oates may be one and the same man. -
I implore all of you to seek this out. It's the last thing Cook did and feels, imo, like the passing of the baton. Morris is the king of modern satire and always hits his targets right in the bullseye. From the hilarious clip I get the feeling 'Four Lions' will be a classic. Morris doesn't let any of his work out until it's tuned to perfection.
-
"...it's like watching a child who's only ever been taught to open one specific kind of door be utterly dumbfounded when faced with a slightly different handle, and cry to his mom that he doesn't know what to do." Brilliant. Quite brilliant.
-
been waiting a long time for a Chris Morris feature film. The man is a genius.
All you American readers should try and get your hands on his series Brass Eye.
Legendary -
"Peter you've LOST THE NEWS!!!"
Ever since seeing The Day Today I've admired Chris Morris, I'll admit that i find the darker parts of Jam pretty uncomfortable to watch, but his satirical stuff was always spot on.
I cant really take Patrick Marber seriously in anything now though, despite him becoming a serious director and all (Closer, Notes on a Scandal) When he has his serious hat on, i just remember Chris Morris berating him for losing the news... -
..this guy has. Ya gotta admit, it takes a huge pair to lampoon folks that don't give a shit if they die in the course of taking you out too....Oh and that take their direction from fatwa issuing madmen too....Brass balls, I tell ya!
-
was blasted into space to spend the rest of his life aboard a one-man prison vessel posing no further threat to children on Earth. But it was revealed that an 8-year-old boy was also placed on board by mistake and is now trapped alone in space with the monster. A spokesman said "This is the one thing we didn't want to happen".
-
Agreed with the Ianucci love, but he didn't work on Brasseye. He might have received a "thanks" credit.
-
Chris Morris got fired from his first radio job for pumping nitrous oxide into the newsroom via the air vents live on air. What a legend.
-
Morris is pure, distilled genius. Stays out of the limelight, just lets his work speak for itself and is probably the most gifted satirist this country has produced in decades.
-
Oh yeah. Islamic extremists. That's funny. Don't forget these fuckers knocked down a New York Icon and killed 3,000 Americans. Every day they try and enforce their susperstitous religious GARBAGE on the world...whine to the UN about blasphemy.
Keep it up fellas. Keep pushing us. Don't whine when fed up Americans are burning mosques in every American city. -
there's the other side of the same coin, right there
-
Yeah, it must terrible having people enforce their suspertitous religious GARBAGE on the world...
During a broadcast on his Christian Broadcasting Network, Pat Robertson suggested the Haiti's earthquake was divine retribution.
He said Haiti had sworn a pact with the devil when it freed itself from French colonial rule.
-
It's well documented how oppressed the American people are
-
According to the Wasington Post, the civillian death toll in Iraq since coalition forces arrived in 2003 is estimated at 655,000. Does that make you feel better, beerbeastredux?
-
... is to mock the shit out of it. Worked very well in Dr Strangelove. This movie looks pretty sweet, if that short segment is any indication. Damn funny!
