Review: This is a jewel of good humouristic ideas reminding me the Monty Python. Everyone is fooled, the would-like-to-be-terrorists, the policemen and the society around them. The story becomes therefore more realistic. The story and the acting are good. The scene of the first bomb test is hilarious. I missed some rythm in the story to keep the suspense. It is also brave to make this kind of movie when you know the reaction against some critic.
Rating: 6 /10
