REVIEW: IN THE LOOP
01/08/10
OVERVIEW:
MPI is proud to announce the
January 12, 2010 DVD release of Armando Iannucci’s
critically acclaimed In
The Loop . The hilarious hit, brilliantly
written by Armando
Iannucci, is crossing the pond again and is back in
the US !
SYNOPSIS:
A
bumbling British government minister (Tom
Hollander) makes a verbal snafu during a TV interview,
inadvertently backing a U.S. war in the Middle East . The Prime
Minister’s venomous communications chief (Peter
Capaldi) attempts damage control as tensions quickly
escalate on both sides of the pond. Soon the Brits are in Washington
, where a U.S. General (James
Gandolfini) thinks war is a crazy idea and the
beleaguered U.S. Assistant
Secretary for Diplomacy (Mimi
Kennedy) scrambles to infiltrate the elusive and very
hawkish War Committee. Meanwhile, the hapless minister
responsible for the mess fuels more flames by attempting to
gatecrash various corridors of power while his well-connected
young spin doctor (Chris
Addison) sleeps his way into diplomatic high jinks with a
sexy young intern (Anna
Chlumsky), culminating in a feverish United
National Security Council vote that makes war seem as
“unforseeable” as the slip of the tongue that ignites this
crackling, fast-talking political
satire showcasing some of the most rollicking wordplay
since the heyday of screwball
comedy.
DVD: In The Loop is
presented in a widescreen format with a 1.85:1 aspect
ration, preserving its original theatrical released format.
The picture is enhanced for widescreen TVs. The film is
complemented with an English 5.1 Dolby digital sound,
with English and Spanish subtitles.
In terms of special
features the DVD doesn't include anything to get exited. It only
includes theatrical trailers.
Overall Armando Iannucci
managed to deliver an intelligent and outstanding political
satire that will probably is not to far from reality. Easily In
The Loop was one of the Top five comedies of 2009.
