About this movie

From writer/director Armando Iannucci, IN THE LOOP is a crackerjack political satire centered on the Machiavellian art of spin in the 24-hour news cycle -- where one's choice of words can, in a heartbeat, affect international diplomacy and where language isn't so much a virus, as a veritable weapon of mass destruction. Starring Tom Hollander, Peter Capaldi, James Gandolfini, Steve Coogan and Anna Chlumsky, and featuring some of the most mellifluous screen dialogue this side of NETWORK, ALL ABOUT EVE and the MONTY PYTHON films, in addition to delirious political maneuverings on par with THANK YOU FOR SMOKING, DR. STRANGELOVE and WAG THE DOG.
