The leaders of seven wealthy democracies get lost in the woods while drafting a statement on a global crisis, facing danger as they attempt to find their way out.
Someone let them cook, and it tastes bad. Its interesting in concept to satirize these leaders of geopolitical and economically prosperous nations, and the movie does a good job of showing how ineffectual they all are, but in execution it feels half baked. There are some witty observations made, like how none of the proposals actually address the nebulous "crisis" that they are meant to tackle. Overall though, there isn't enough substance given to any one idea to recommend it as a conceptual film, leaving its entertainment value lacking. Some of the performances are really good, but this doesn't do enough to make it an enjoyable watch.
