In the Loop - 2009

Chandler - 12/21/12

In the Loop is a British satire of events leading to the 2003 invasion of Iraq. A simple and somewhat bumbling politician in Great Britain accidentally makes comments alluding to war in the Middle East. These comments, fueled by the media, spiral out of control as the United States attempts to justify an inevitable invasion. Based on alleged true events, the film's premise is a bit weak at times. But the vulgar dialog is entertaining enough to keep you engaged. If you're a fan of political satire, this is a good movie that pokes fun at the overwhelmingly bureaucratic governments leading the free world.
