Sure, but who cares? It's still loads of fun watching the police struggling with all this.

True, but it's not really a problem.
Spoiler:Replace the political speech by a play, or a movie soundtrack, and there you have it.
That's just a slight slip.
My point is: this movie isn't brilliant, and it's not a masterpiece. It's just the best movie of its genre that I've seen: fun, beautifully made, efficient (and for the record, I loathe Usual Suspect).
