Barry, Omar, Hassan and Waj are four British Moslems. Barry is an idealist white convert, Omar is a happily married man, Hassan is a rapper and Waj is a simple minded man who will do whatever Omar tells him to. What they all have in common is that they hate the corrupt society around them and want to make a change. They visit a training camp in Pakistan, then decide to make a big terror attack at the London Marathon.
The film starts slowly and is difficult to get into at first, but as it continues you get to know the characters and sympathise with their goals. "Four Lions" is a curiosity, probably different from anything you've seen before. Yes, it's a comedy, but the humour comes from its stark realism.
