In the Loop

A little while ago, I saw In the Loop. The film came out last year and is a comedic, but serious look at the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom over the course of several days. The Prime Minister and President each want a war. The British Minister for International Development states on the radio that war is unforeseeable. He later recants and states that "to walk the road of peace, sometimes we need to be ready to climb the mountain of conflict." Both pro and anti-war factions from each government begin maneuvering in response.

This film had a magnificent cast. Peter Capaldi, Gina McKee, Tom Hollander, Mimi Kennedy, Anna Chlumsky, and James Gandolfini were all especially good. The dialogue was witty, and everyone involved was really able to pull it off.

I would definitely recommend this film. It is definitely a must-see!
