In The Loop (2009)
In The Loop is a film about the time right before the start of the Iraq War. A minor British Government official makes a statement that war in the Middle East was “unforeseeable” — that means, to him that he can’t foresee it. The opposite of a foreseeable war, is unforeseeable. LOL. Well, spin doctors try to hush it up, but he stands by his comments, digging himself deeper. He makes a political trip to Washington DC and does more ‘damage’ while getting in to a bigger scheme of political machinations that he is not aware of or understands.
This movie isn’t laugh out loud funny, but it is full of clever little quips and situations that are funny. You’ll enjoy the zippy references to pop culture. James Gandolfini, Peter Capaldi, Tomm Hollander, Gina McKee all star in this film.
Rated Not Rated. 106 minutes (1 hour 46 minutes). This film would probably be rated ‘R’ due to the strings of profanity. I’d love to quote a few of the lines from the movie, but most of them are profanity ridden.
