Category: EnglishA spinoff from the popular BBC TV series - The Thick of It, In The Loop is probably one of the best political satires to have come out in recent months and it definitely doesn't let down. Sinking it's teeth into the juicy flesh of British politics right from the start we're introduced to Peter Capaldi's character Malcolm Tucker who is somewhat of a spin doctor for the British PM and the government. Soon we find out that a cabinet minister, Tom Hollander's character has shot his mouth off about a possible outbreak of war in the middle-east.
What follows is an escalating set of events that while spirals out of control is completely manipulated by the ferocious Malcolm Tucker and later on his assistant.
This is the kind of movie that you have to watch with the right kind of people to get the references and of course the amazing humour that makes this really high class. Making it a must watch comedy for any young mind. There are stereotypes and there are unconventional characters, there's also James Gandolfini as a U.S. General. Do watch it if you have the time and take a look at how events are controlled by the Government right to the final dot.
Recommendation level: 3.5/5 - A MUST WATCH! Got this from a friend. Watch out for Peter Capaldi's character, you might just fall in love!
