Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

War Comedy


 

A journalist leaves the desk job behind to become a war correspondent in Afghanistan.

"Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" is a sanitised version of Afghanistan, where parties and sex dissuade any thoughts of genuine fear. During the excursion, our reporter exclaims there is an obligation to report on the conflict, but she does little to heed this advice. The plot is a string of feel-good moments, where situations present plenty of opportunities to crack jokes that are too good to pass up. When it comes to the war itself, it's lightweight, so leave the political lens at home. This film is best enjoyed when you accept it for what it really is... 'Kabul. Home of the Rom-Com'. Whimsical Timid Fodder.
