Cztery lwy to mocno niepoprawna komedia o terrorystach-gamoniach, którzy szykują samobójczy atak, mający sprowadzić dżihad na zgniłą kulturę Zachodu. Omar ma jedno marzenie - chce zostać męczennikiem. Nie ma wprawdzie doświadczenia w prowadzeniu "świętej wojny", ale wie, że musi zrobić w życiu coś doniosłego. Ataku na imperialistyczny Zachód nie przeprowadza się jednak w pojedynkę. Omar rekrutuje więc do pomocy swoich przyjaciół. Problem w tym, że członkowie jego "dżihad komando" mają więcej zapału niż rozumu: uzbrajają w bomby kruki, kupują materiały wybuchowe na Amazonie, połykają karty SIM, by uniknąć inwigilacji. A to tylko niektóre z "genialnych" pomysłów terrorystów. Na drodze do męczeńskiej śmierci zamachowców może stanąć... ich własna głupota. (M2 Films)

One of the biggest, if not the biggest, problem of contemporary cinema is the lack of courage in naming things and processes around us by their proper name, conformism, and political correctness. There is a minority of films that play with incorrectness, but only a handful of them are truly incorrect and have undeniable qualities. Among them is Four Lions, which represents an interesting satire on the topic of the inability of Muslim minority integration in Western Europe. The four anti-heroes are insignificant zeros who live a forgettable, mundane life, and although society allows them to survive very comfortably, they replace their insignificance with political radicalism and dreams of jihad in the midst of a corrupt world that doesn't understand them. The screenwriter didn't hesitate to go to the edge, so terrorism is not only talked about but also acted upon, and even in the name of Allah, they die. Four Lions shows that an incorrect provocative film can be made without unnecessary vulgarities and basement jokes à la Sasha Baron Cohen. But still, the film won't receive the highest rating from me. After all, the pace and quality of the screenplay fluctuate, and out of the four main characters, only Barry alias Nigel Lindsay deserves commendation for the choice of suitable acting type and demonstrated acting skills. Nevertheless, it is probably the most daring film endeavor in its genre and subject matter today. Overall impression: 80%.

Explosive satire in the best absurdist tradition of Monty Python. Ideological anarchy as the only weapon against a senseless world that would benefit from collective psychotherapy. Morris offers borderline humor as a medium. If it were shorter and tighter, I'd be thrilled.

A very politically incorrect comedy, maybe too much at times (and I say it as someone who generally sees incorrectness in film as a big plus). I didn’t like too much the unexceptional execution with an almost documentary camera (this style actually bothers me in films that don’t really require it), but the contents compensate for everything. Many scenes are downright hilarious.

If you want to see a movie which features both a multiculturally enriched Britain, and a death caused by tripping over a sheep, if you don't know the difference between a bear and a Wookiee, or you've never seen the making of Al Qaeda threat videos on Al Jazeera, then Four Lions is exactly the movie for you. A brilliant blend of savage black humor and British humor.

The most explosive and most wisecrack filled costume movie of all times, and since watching it I have had an irresistible urge to search for a furry prayer bear. Those who have known Morris since his Brass Eye days will find it hard to believe that he went even further (as far as correctness and humor are concerned) this time. Much further.
