EBJ Directed by Chris MorisStarring ​Riz Ahmed, Kayvan Novak and Nigel Lindsey​ Plot Overview: A group of young Muslim men living in Sheffield decide to wage jihad, and they hatch an inept plan to become suicide bombers. Omar (Riz Ahmed) and Waj (Kayvan Novak) have a brief, disastrous run at a Pakistan training camp, while Faisal (Adeel Akhtar) works on an unlikely scheme to train birds to carry bombs. Their ill-conceived plan culminates at the London Marathon with their bumbling attempts to disrupt the event while dressed in outlandish costumes.This movie is enjoyable if you can take offence and actively enjoy dark humour. This movie is very offensive but if you can take that you will have a great time. All the characters are funny and memorable and its a brilliant modern satire that is perfect in the current climate of today. The story is this movie is just purely a satire and is one of the best modern satires in recent memory. The ending is just plain flawless and I couldn't fault it in any way shape or form. It's a story that wouldn't win Oscars or anything but it definitely serves its purpose and is especially helpful in the way the world is right now.Riz Ahmed was good as Omar as was Karvan Novak as Waj. Nigel Lindsey was amazing as Barry and is just such a brilliant character. Adeel Akhtar was alright as Faisal. Arsher Ali was fine as Hassan. Every character in this movie was distinct and memorable and you will certainly not forget any of them. Barry is a personal favourite but every single character still has purpose and is fun in their own unique way.Technically, this movie is mostly poor. The cinematography is awful but that may have been a stylistic choice. If that is the case, then fair enough but until then it's pretty poorly done. The effects were pretty poor and the set design was very generic but the costume design is absolutely flawless.This movie told a, simply put, genius satire and may be the best in the past decade or so. It was clever, it was witty and it was perfect for the time it was written. It was very funny and I would say around 60% of the jokes hit which is definitely a positive. The remaining 40%, however, felt very forced and cringey.In conclusion, this movie is very enjoyable if you enjoy dark humour and can take it. If you can't, then you will definitely hate this movie.7/10Would Recommend if you can take Offensive humour

miles I THINK THIS FILM IS A Great film! I have watched it nearly every year since I first saw it. its a great film to watch with your partner or friends its a very dark humour movie so if you get upset easily its not for you but in the end it gets sad but funny still I feel like its good film as it takes the mick out of terrorists but also show you how they think. the man talks to his man about killing himself and makes it seem like the lion king and the man believes killing himself will get him up to heaven. so all in all its a great film funny for most people and gives a great incite into the mind of someone who thinks killing themselves is a good idea.

kevinathome I expected a British comedy about some stupid jihadists. Yes, it was funny, and they were both stupid and plausible. Indeed, chillingly so, because I recalled defending a fellow in a youth gang. He spent nearly all his time asking about girls and lying about how tough he was and bragging about what he would do, and explaining on the telephone what codes to use when on the telephone. He was comically stupid and childish and vain. Like these jihadists. But ultimately, the gang would occasionally really hurt somebody. And here too, there were tragic consequences. The movie turned pretty dark in the last 20 minutes or so.

beresfordjd When I read about this movie's release my first thought was that it was sick, too soon and probably incredibly offensive on every level. To my surprise when I actually got around to watching it, I thought it was a wonderfully judged film. The performances were uniformly good and the script was funny. To find offence in a piece like this is the viewer's fault rather than the moviemaker's. I was really amused by it all and it did not shy away from the horrors of terrorism either. A really difficult tightrope to negotiate was done with ease (at least it appeared to be with ease) I daresay Chris Morris worked hard to get it just right, because it would have been so easy to completely miss the mark and end up with a truly offensive item.
