Four Lions
Four bumbling British jihadists from Sheffield plan a suicide bombing attack, their dangerous mission constantly derailed by catastrophic incompetence, petty arguments, and their own absurd contradictions. Chris Morris's pitch-black satire humanises its would-be terrorists without softening their intentions, exposing radicalisation as a process driven as much by group dynamics and masculine insecurity as ideology.
