In the Loop (DVD)

In the Loop (2009) starring Tom Hollander, James Gandolfini, Anna Chlumsky. In the run-up to a war in an undisclosed Middle Eastern country, British and American officials fumble their way toward an agreement on the conduct of the conflict. Turf battles, personal animosity and general ineptitude do battle as the one-liners fly. The script is razor-sharp, and the only challenge is catching all the jokes as they zoom past in both British and American accents. Luckily, the subtitles help with this. Grade: B+
