Movie Haiku:British buddies dabble in Jihad. It's supposed to be a comedy but Jan found it too incoherent for laughter. Rich didn't laugh much either but appreciated Morris's attempt to show how average guys searching for "meaning" could be drawn into political quick sand resulting in tragedy for all concerned.
