Scottish-Italian writer Armando Iannucci makes his feature debut with this outrageous comedy that takes a scathing look inside the UK and US political machinery's where a war of different sorts are being fought on a daily basis. Everybody knows about the big guns of politics such as Presidents and Prime Ministers but almost nobody knows about the many assistant, deputies, interns and others behind the scenes of politics. In this fictionalized account the governments of the US and UK intend to go to war in a certain Middle East country which sets in motion a series of events that paves the road to the war. Iannucci's references to real story behind this comedy are clear but he cleverly stays away from the obvious to make a bigger statement that makes for a timeless classic. The excellent cast includes Peter Capaldi, Tom Hollander, Gina McKee and James Gandolfini with outstanding performances. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
