In The Loop (2009)

Plot:
The British Prime Minister and the US President infer that they want to embark on a war in the Middle East. Simon Foster, the British Minister for International Development, states off the cuff in a radio interview that "war is unforeseeable". He later tries to recant this statement to a hoard of news reporters with another statement: "to walk the road of peace, sometimes we need to be ready to climb the mountain of conflict". Both these remarks start a series of manoeuvrings on both sides of the Atlantic by both the pro- and anti-war factions in both governments.

My Comment:
It was refreshing, funny serious movie. It was interesting how the government responsible of what they've said, even though it was just something that accidentally blurred out. What I like about this movie was this movie was not focusing on just one person, so we could see the objective of having the issue. I like Simon and Malcolm. The actors that played them were stunning. I was like watching documentary movie since it looked real. Malcolm was really good on swearing and sometimes i find it funny, how can he found that kind of swearing when it was in a high condition. I thought Simon would do something big at the end. Apparently not.
