Extremely dark comedy about extremely petty would-be jihadists, excellent cast creates believable characters, one of the funniest films ever
“A comedy about wannabe terrorists” sounds like it would be a tasteless disaster. But this is surprisingly sincere while being funny.
Extremely dark movie, like just the idea of making a mockumentary about terrorist seems so stupid, but they pull it off brilliantly
Outrageous, relentless comedy. Quotable and well written.
Handles the subject matter incredibly well with a witty & smartly written script highlighting the inherent pointlessness of terrorism
Funny movie about tragic events. Good dark comedy.
"So the police shot the right guy, and the wrong guy blew up"
Superbly funny. A brilliant dark comedy that's authentic enough to be sincere but goofy enough to be laugh-out-loud funny - again and again.
Never thought such a serious topic could be such a funny movie. One of the scenes is a famous internet meme now.
Dark and witty. Enjoyable and Eerie. A good film indeed
