Chris Morris' ‘The Day Shall Come’ satirizes an FBI attempt to paint a delusional but well-intentioned Miami preacher as a terrorist.

found punishing laughs with hapless wannabe suicide bombers, and now, with “The Day Shall Come,” from inside the warped machinations of overzealous U.S. counterterrorism tactics on home soil.

When anti-gentrification black-power street preacher Moses needs cash to keep his and wife Venus’ threadbare community betterment operation afloat, he attracts the attention of a squabbling FBI team all too ready to lay a Middle Eastern terrorism-funding trap on him with the help of their go-to cadre of paid Arab American informants.

Morris and co-writer Jesse Armstrong aren’t the inventors of sting-crazed American law enforcement willing to fund an attack on their own government just for the arrest wins — Morris’ targets come from plenty of research into real follies fueling the war on terror. But boy, have they seasoned this appalling fact-based deployment of false reality with suitably hilarious character shadings , bureaucratic absurdities and devilishly tart, insult-twisty dialogue.

The result is a kind of rolling theater of racially targeted, manufactured peril that exploits the underprivileged, rewards corruption and ultimately — when the farce plays itself out — isn’t actually funny. But that’s only after it brilliantlyfunny, producing plenty of acrid, world-upside-down laughter about the ridiculous truth behind some serious modern delusions about whom we should be scared of.
