IN THE LOOP is a fast-paced, ensemble comedy ? a film that tracks the lies, misunderstandings, good and bad intelligence, and PR blunders that escalate into a full-blown crisis in the Middle East over the course of a few days, in a few conversations and meetings, in a few corridors of British and American power. The run-up to war makes for curious rivalries and uneasy alliances in this political satire. Though played for laughs, the movie demonstrates how the most incidental factors (leaked papers, hastily spoken sound bites) and players (aides, interns, and low-level government officials) can influence the course of history.
