Director : Christopher Morris
Running Time : 98 mins
A group of radical Muslims from Sheffield decide it’s about time to fight against the non-Islamic forces of the world with their own clueless theories about how to prove their ideologies to be correct. Following a disastrous visit to a Jihadist training camp, Omar (Ahmed) decides to take charge and organise his friends to acquire materials for making explosive devices, but Barry (Lindsay), a white convert to Islam thinks that they should use the explosives to blow up a Mosque, thus inciting non-violent Muslims to join their cause.
This is a very silly movie which, in typical Chris Morris style, succeeds in its humour by being worryingly plausible. The characters are brilliant – reminiscent of some characters from an old cartoon series called Monkey Dust – and interact in a manner that makes them rich and believable. Towards the end things get a little more serious, but this just aids to the believability of the humour throughout.
