Whiskey Tango Foxtrot


WTF?  Another Desert Storm war movie?!  This time with a female, American, comedy stand up as lead?!  Well done Hollywood, yet again you take a serious situation and stink it up!  Oh, wait.  This is Tina Fey playing a real life reporter who wrote a book in which this movie is based.  Also, its not really a comedy.  Well, it starts out as one but quickly evolves into a really good drama recanting the events of a reporters life while in the Middle East covering the war.  Sure they throw in a bit of a love story, some drama, some action, some serious moments that are deep thinking type scenarios, but a really surprisingly good movie.  The best part, Margot Robbie!  Not sure if you have ever noticed but she is super hot!  This film deals with the industry sexism and politics of the news world.  It dives into the inner realm of a dog eat dog profession and takes an emotional toll on those who are sent there.  Check this one out, its a pretty good watch and will keep you interested throughout.

FYI:  When asked, 80% of people didn't know what Whiskey Tango Foxtrot stood for!
