IN THE LOOP is a foul-mouthed comedy that draws on non-specific events to create a world that is terrifyingly familiar: The US President and UK Prime Minister fancy a war, but not everyone agrees that war is a ‘good thing’. US General Miller (James Gandolfini – The Sopranos, The Taking Of Pelham 123) certainly doesn't think so and neither does the British Secretary of State for International Development, Simon Foster (Tom Hollander – Pirates of the Caribbean, Pride and Prejudice). But when the mild-mannered minister inadvertently appears to back the war on prime-time t... elevision, he immediately attracts the attention of the PM’s venomously aggressive communications chief Malcolm Tucker (reprised from The Thick of It by Peter Capaldi), who latches onto him like a hawk. Soon, the Brits are in Washington, where diplomatic relations collide with trans-Atlantic spin doctors and Foster’s off-hand remark quickly spirals into an insurmountable ‘mountain of conflict’.

Despite a pedigree like so many British prestige projects -- award-winning actors and writers, topical subject matter, BBC roots -- In the Loop is no precious show dog. It's a snarling, frothing little beastie straining at its leash.
In fact, when someone in the film uses the word "purview," signature character Malcolm Tucker, the prime minister's communications chief, launches into one of his trademark expletive-laced tirades: "Where do you think you are, in some sort of regency . . . costume drama? This is a government department, not a . . . Jane . . . Austen novel!"

In the Loop is an intermittently funny and biting political satire about politicians and their operatives involved in a campaign to promote a war.
Drawing upon Wag the Dog, Dr. Strangelove and This Is Spinal Tap, this sardonic tale is adapted from the critically acclaimed BBC series The Thick of It.
The film features some witty performances from the mostly British ensemble cast, notably Peter Capaldi as Malcolm Tucker, the prime minister's ultra-aggressive communications director whose foul mouth and venomous attitude work in concert and at warp speed.
Tom Hollander also is excellent as Simon Foster, the minister for international development...

If you watched the TV series then a lot of the actors in this film will be familiar and the pace and language won't come as too much of a shock. It's sharp, witty and pacey in style with the most creative swearing I've heard in a long time (well since South Park the movie if I'm honest).
It's easy to see this as merely a movie version of the TV show, but In the Loop stands on its own as a very clever version of real life events from the recent past. If even half of this is true it's terrifying and from reading interviews with Armando Ianucci I suspect that more than half of it is.
Peter Capaldi steals the movie, with Tom Hollander a close second as the i...

This film was hilarious! I can definately see what all the hype was about and why it got so many good reviews. Peter Capaldi was excellent all the way through, in fact; the whole cast was great. Whoever wrote this is a comedy genius, 10/10.
I loved The Thick of It and wasnt sure if its style would translate into a movie, shouldnt have worried with Malcolm Tucker at the helm and Jamie as his wingman (no Scottish bias here, honest!) it was hilarious.
A top cast and some great lines made this a joy to watch, it was funny, clever, funny, satirically scathing, funny, Iannicci triumphs.
Starts off stronger than any comedy I've ever seen but tapers off half way through. It might be a way to grab the watcher's attention to draw them into a politically meaningful plot but I doubt it.
Cast were great, satire was great but I felt like most of the film's substance and energy were expended in the first fifteen, admittedly hilarious, minutes. Not that the latter half of the film was bad, I just felt a little let down after the immaculate care and attention to detail of the beginning.
Massive kudos for tackling a topic the rest of the media obviously doesn't have the stones to take on in anything even approaching honest cinema or good journalism. Hats off to the producers, wish there were more of you ..
Must-see for a Brit. Recommended for anyone else. I hope Iannucci gets the backing to go on to do bigger and even bolder things.
Great political satire with amusing plot, yes there are moments that are frustratingly annoying especially the scottish accents but generally it flows well and is interestingly amusing with occasional hilarity, typically it depicts politics as quick sharp and witty..shame really that in reality it's plain dull.
Very funny film - fast moving and hilarious script - almost too fast for my American ear - heard good things about the movie and I am glad I watched it - scariest part is this may be how politics works at times 9/10
A very good political comedy about British and American politics from the BBC network.. This movie revolves around a good story but the acting and comedy really showcase this movie as a really good one.. Many memorable one liners and lots of swearing.. If you think you might enjoy it, give it a watch.. 3.5/5..
This was such a funny film, absolutely brilliant from start to finish. I loved the characters, the comic situations and the obscene language. It all added together to make a very funny and interesting film. I think its probably the best political satire since ''Dr. Strangelove''. I thought it was an outstanding film, would definitely watch it again. 5/5
A Dr Strangelove for the Noughties. Scarily hilarious, has the whiff of awful truth about it. I like Iannucci's work, and it's nice to see his slant on life transfer so successfully to the big screen.
Being a fan of the TV series 'The Thick Of It' I was looking forward to this movie but found it a bit dissapointing. Unlike the TV show, some of the one liners were pretty weak.
