The Interview

In this outrageous comedy, two celebrity journalists, Dave Skylark and Aaron Rapaport, land an interview with Kim Jong Un, the enigmatic leader of North Korea, after his surprise fanboy status is revealed on their tabloid show. Recruited by the CIA to assassinate him due to concerns over his nuclear ambitions, they reluctantly agree to carry out the mission, which quickly spirals into a series of absurd misadventures. As they navigate the palace and Kim's security detail, they discover that beneath the authoritarian exterior lies a naive and vulnerable leader who is more concerned with maintaining his image than actual power. The film's satire targets North Korea's socialist regime and its cult of personality, with hilarious results in this wildly entertaining action-comedy.
