Based on Kim Barker’s memoirs, titled The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days in
Afghanistan and Pakistan, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot tells the story of a television
journalist who accepts a temporary assignment as a war correspondent in
Afghanistan.
I think this film greatly suffered from confusion
in genre. It is as if the filmmakers were trying to be serious and funny all at
the same time and did not manage to be fully successful on either side of the
coin. There were some moments that were quite funny, if you like dry humor (and
I do). There were also some touching moments. But, overall, there was something
missing.
Tina Fey was decent in her role, though her
strong suits were not fully used in this film.
All things considered, this film was just
okay. Not bad, but not great either.
