Ed . Aug 22 F*ing G*d d*mned m*ther f*ing satire of how craven those serving us in government really are. Peter Capaldi's Malcom Tucker character's outrageously off-the-rails performance is hysterically funny for the first 20 minutes but morphs into a one trick pony of a pathetic human being. This would work in a screwball comedy or with a minor character. However, while not a fatal flaw, it is a significant and material one which knocks down the quality of the film by several pegs. What a G* d*ammed f*ing shame! See more Gareth v @geewah Jul 10 The master of political satire, Armando Iannucci, has delivered another gem in his take on the politics of the Middle East crisis. Anything that has Malcom Tucker in it is well worth watching. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 3 Funny in 1 hour and 46 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

See more Dave S 09/12/2024 When a British politician offers his personal opinion that American military intervention in the Middle East is ‘unforeseeable’, a chaotic chain of events unravel as tension between British and American political power brokers builds. Written and directed by Armando Iannucci, In the Loop will be loved by anyone who appreciated his later works, namely The Death of Stalin and the TV series Veep. It’s got some great performances (especially by Peter Capaldi as the perpetually angry, foul-mouthed government spokesperson) and a fantastic script filled with stinging political satire and often hilarious dialogue. Sure, the handheld camerawork feels a bit erratic and dizzying at times, but that is a small complaint about an otherwise excellent film. See more S R @ScottR 08/17/2024 Some original comedy here with good writing and acting. It must have launched the careers of many of these aspiring actors and led to Veep and others. Despite the bad language it is witty and entertaining despite me being frustrated with the stupidity of the characters. RUS See more Read all reviews
