Movie Info
During an interview, British Cabinet Minister Simon Foster (Tom Hollander) delivers an off-the-cuff remark that war in the Middle East is "unforeseeable." Profane political spin doctor Malcolm Tucker (Peter Capaldi) tries to cover up Foster's faux pas, but the ill-conceived comment is picked up by a warmongering American official. Foster is invited to Washington, D.C., where a war of words brews as politicians maneuver, manipulate and deceive each other before a U.N. vote on military action.

Peter Capaldi makes this film Just as he did in the series! It's very British and I love it! Funny, entertaining and enjoyable!

Incredible and hilarious political comedy film. The cast is grand and full of wonderful actors who give everything to the roles. The camera flips around around with a sitcom and fly on the wall approach. The film deserves a wider audience.

The big-screen companion piece to the brilliant The Thick Of It, In The loop follows the same fuck-up miscommunications of the TV series to international waters, between a supposed soon to happen war. What follows is an f bomb ridden ride that gets absolutly nuts on it's complications, becoming virtually indecipherable and it makes sense belonging on this world of politics, scheming, alliances and whatnot. Consistently funny, this is a great way to get into the TV series, whilst mantaining a very strong individuality of it's own.

However juvenile it may sound, most of my laughter during "In the Loop" was caused by Peter Capaldi and his profane vocabulary. Granted, the rest of the cast is quite funny and the satire in the script is so sharp and so socially, stingingly relevant that it'll send you reeling back in your chair or whatever else you might be sitting in, but it's Capaldi who really steals the show.
