A spokesman for the FBI said "this was the one thing we didn't want to happen".
(I stole this comment) The FBI went on to say about the film that, they: "didn't like it, but they had to go along with it..."

Not as good as Four Lions, but Chris Morris at 70%, is still better than most of the so-called 'satirist's working today. Worth a look.
Seriously well-timed and important (comedy) film. Hopefully to be used in cultural studies for our times
What I wouldn't give for another Morris news/culture satire tv show.
Here’s a link to an interview he did last week. Enjoy
I'd like him to do a horror movie. Sorta like the JAM tv show.
Morris is quite possibly the best writer of our generation
Quite possibly.
And that’s why he gets such little coverage.
Truth hurts, laughter heals and knowledge is power.
Chris has a knack of delivering all 3 at the same time.
That’s too dangerous for the mainstream.
I couldn't connect to this film for most of the run time, I was left feeling bored for the majority of it. But towards the end I was won over by the characters and then got a gut punch with how it ended. The more I look into it after I watched, I was more intrigued. But I still feel like the film could have been better.
Same.
1st half hour or so just didn't grab but then it became SO good!!!!!
Steve Chatha good. I’m maybe 20 min in and bored. Wanted to see if a review would say he’s basically mentally ill. That’s it. But many people have said it’s worth sticking with.
It punished me for getting invested in the characters. I didn't expect that.

Having seen some of the comments , people saying " Its not funny enough " . I have an inkling that the poor sods who ve been fitted up would agree
If they think thats not funny they should see some of his other stuff!
aidan harrison I think the film was a bit of a mess.
Probably a documentary would have been a better idea
aidan harrison. So the film isn't meant to be funny as well?
_"Its not funny enough"_ - At the time 'they' said that about Dr Strangelove, 'they' said that about Spinal Tap, 'they' said that about Harold & Maude,
'they' said that about American Werewolf in London, 'they' said that about Ed Wood, 'they' said that about The Grand Budapest Hotel, 'they' said that about Withnail & I etc etc
- These type people will only think it's clever/funny when someone whos media they consume *tells* them that it's clever/funny, and then they'll hail it as "Genius, always loved it!"
(It's a pattern, It's just the way these things go.) 😸
@@zetetick395 For every film that grew in reputation there are lots that just didn't. You do Chris Morris no favours by just being a fan. As a cutting edge artist, that's the last thing he'd want, I'm sure.
*I adore Chris Morris.*
"I approve of it" says Mark. Oh good, that's ok then.
This sounds so great. Seems like it should be a worthy follow up to Four Lions
Ruminating Reaper. Having seen it I found it a hard slog. Definitely not as impressive as its predecessor.
everyone complaining its not funny should just go and watch an adam sandler film instead frankly .
Most of the gags were of that level. The writing was really poor for the most part.
"How's this going to play?" I know how it's going to play - like a whistle up a baboon's butt.
That hideously unfunny line from one of the FBI agents embodies the lame comedy of this travesty of a film.
@@jackieboy3968 you're missing the point . the FBI agents think they're being funny, but are being dickheads. Its a bit like the Office but with guns.
@@jackieboy3968 Your low IQ must limit your enjoyment of lots of things. You bovine lump of gristle.
@ "You bovine lump of gristle". That contrived, ostentatious, 'comical' insult says everything about your woeful sense of humour, and also explains why you watched a film with such an unfunny, butchered script, and found it hilarious.
Has he remade Catch22 for the new US?
What a book! What a movie (John Voight one).
Love the mention of blue jam... I agree with you, 100. Like it when we can agree :)
Simon Mayo noticeably winced when Blue Jam was brought up
why
@@woodhd there were short sketches on it where he would make fun of radio 1 djs. I can only remember the steve lamaq and mary ann hobbs ones but I guess mayo probably got done as well?
ah right thanks
I didn't see Mayo on camera when Blue Jam was mentioned, I just heard him acknowledge with, "It does, yeah."
@@jamescarr4662 "Zionist". A shibboleth that serves mostly as a nutcase marker.
This sounds great. Will almost certainly catch this.
You will be disappointed.
It's a very Chris Morris film. If you generally find the tragedy of human ambition funny you might like this. It's the first film in a long time to have kept my attention from start to finish.
Has a few funny moments but it's no Four Lions.
"An unarmed white man... An unarmed black man... Who's more likely gonna have a gun?!" did tickle me.
j conrad whoooooooosh!
One of the best of the year [very different films but it reminded me of Sorry To Bother You in that there's no other film like it around and it's not like any other film around]. It's not Four Lions but that's because it's a different kind of story to Four Lions. Expecting Chris Morris to just do Four Lions again is idiotic
It is a lot like Four Lions, though.
@@Jamesharveycomics yea but some people seem to want it to be the exact same thing
If this were really happening, what would you think?
It is, and that's a question I'm still asking myself.
_"Its not funny enough"_ - At the time 'they' said that about Dr Strangelove, 'they' said that about Spinal Tap, 'they' said that about Harold & Maude,

Seen it twice. Once with a Chris Morris Q&A in Edinburgh and once at a student screening. I didn't think it has the same weight as Four Lions nor is it as funny. There were very few laughs at the student screening and I overheard someone asking if Chris Morris "had his finger on the pulse or was just very paranoid". Thats one of the problems, the story seems so absurd that without knowing its based on similar truthful events, it loses its punch when it viewed without this knowledge. Worth watching but dont expect anything as edgy as Four Lions.
Interesting. How did Morris reply out of interest?! Must have been an awkward exchange!
@@Luke-cz9tm lol no that wasnt said to Chris it was students talking after the showing
@@harryh3203 I see... 😂
I laughed a lot
@@willd6215 I did as well however most of the students didnt.
Wait I thought IFC Films only releases films in the US
Fell flat with me
One of the least funny films I think I've ever seen. Tremendous disappointing.
Tremendously*
@@jackieboy3968 its not funny cos its true!
It will fall flat with a lot of people, because it's essentially like doing a comedy about the Holocaust based on the notion that certain claims about it turned out not to be true, with the implication that it therefore was not a problem. This will leave people feeling flat, and when they realise what he is trying to downplay, a lot of people will be quite irritated by the whole thing.
@@paulf1113 if i get your logic are you saying that because 9/11 did happen and was a terrorist act no one should ever portray incidents where people were entrapped by the FBI to commit faked acts of terrorism? Even if based on and informed by real events ? You may not like the movie, but are you suggesting that no one should ever make any piece of work that questions what the security services get up to? And where does this movie downplay real terrorist acts ?
RUBBER DINGHY RAPIDS, BRO
_YEAH!_ RUBBER DINGHY RAPIDS!
I like it , it’s got a message and is funny
What was the message ?
Wait... Did Mark just spoil the ending?
@@Avengerie "I got the reference" - Cptn America
I really enjoyed the movie.
Chris Morris is a comedic genius. Loved him in The IT Crowd.
Your loving father.... Mr Reynholm 😂
Chris Morris is my god and I was dissapointed, I cringed through most of the dialogue. Possibly just the american actors not being a good fit for his style of writing?
Have nt see the movie . However one would have to tone it down to reach an American audience . Which , lets face it, is were it has to land . Who knows what problems we have in our own dear UK
aidan harrison
I haven’t seen it either but the theme, although it’s portrayed in a satirical way sounds like a recently aired tv drama series called Capture. A British soldier is used to further the war in Afghanistan by the Intelligence Agencies using Image correction. It’s a complex plot but worthy of watching. Create the crime, then choose the “players”, scary stuff.
I think some of the jokes/slang in this film might go over a mainstream British audience’s head - especially the quick silly patter between the “terrorists”. I was howling at some things while the rest of the auditorium was like 🤷🏼♀️
Free the Fort Dix 5!
I didn't get into it at all I loved four lions though
Review starts at 4:20.
I love Chris Morris but this slipped into the same "Jazz" comedy that Death Of Stalin did. The comedy is very clever, but not very funny. You just get the feeling that they enjoyed writing the jokes more than we enjoy laughing at them.
the film isnt put together very well. It has good ideas, but is edited very badly. Some of the acting is a bit iffy as well.
First. Been looking forward to this one!
Ted Maul reports reports reports....
Not Morris' best work.
It's an OK film. But the main thing I got from it was it could have easily been taken from real life, and much of it was inspired by the many hundreds of non-terrorists that have been set up by the FBI. It makes the FBI look good, and that they are keeping America safe, but they then have less time to focus on the real terrorists.
Perverse incentives
Saw it yesterday and was truly disappointed. Hammy, poorly directed, just a mess. Any satirical commentary was lost on me entirely. Watch Chris Morris talking to Channel 4 news - way more interesting - and not embarrassing like the movie.
IT might sound weird but, you literally just did not understand the film AND it's not supposed to be a comedy.
It ends with 4 innocent people each doing 30 years of prison time. it's not supposed to be funny. It's a look into how mentally ill poor people can be turned into 'terrorists' by the FBI and media
I love Chris Morris , but this really isn't a watchable film.
Saw it yesterday. Mildly entertaining. Not very funny. Quite boring in parts.
Wish Chris Morris would do a film focussing on the forgotten white underclass in Britain.
There are lots of films highlighting the plight of minorities, but few looking at the absurdities of a large section of white Britain gradually sinking down the educational / income charts to the very bottom - while middle class politicians focus on the needs of BAME because it's a better look for them, an easy virtue-signal.
Other than Anna the FBI cast was very poor, were unbelievable in dialogue and annoying. The flip side the 'terrorists' were constantly 'with it' enough to make sound rational thoughts all the time which made things like 'horn that summons dinosaurs' etc just seem silly and out of place.
Overall it felt the characters were made to fit the situations leaving them as just empty fodder for what ended up being unfunny farce. I know people are saying it isn't funny for the actual victims either, however if you're going to make a comedy out of this to draw light upon it then better make sure it's dam funny otherwise a documentary or serious approach would've been much wiser as the you're using the 'one shot' at exposing what the FBI are doing in a package that ultimately fizzles as at it's core is a poor comedy.
This movie is a satire about Hebrew Israelite groups. Their are a lot of Hebrew Israelite groups in America teaching the truth of the bible to so-called African-Americans, some Hispanics and some Indians. This movie, as I wrote, is a satire about those Israelite groups.
Secondarily, sure. Mainly it's a satire about the horrific practices of government.
Disappointed just wasn't funny.
It's a misfire.
Try again.
Tony, you've lost the news!
@@EggBastion I have no idea what that means. Do you?
@@danzel1157 - You're lying in a news grave Tony.
@@EggBastion You are a strange one, aren't you?
It's not funny at all
The worst film I have seen this year...was it supposed to be mildly amusing?
