Things aren’t looking good for America in HBO’s new black comedy The Brink. After a military coup in Pakistan, the powers that be in Washington react. US efforts are being led by a sex-crazed, alcoholic Secretary of State (Tim Robbins) and executed in Islamabad by a low-level diplomat (Jack Black). And then there’s a pill-popping, Navy fighter pilot (Pablo Schreiber) who’s really stressed out.
