One year after Armando Iannucci’s brilliant satirical political black comedy In the Loop comes another even darker satirical farce that cuts painfully close to the truth. Chris Morris’s story of a group of inept British jihadists who still manage to do plenty of damage makes you laugh out loud at things you can't believe could ever be humorous.
