Whiskey Tango Foxtrot


An adaptation of journalist Kim Barker’s wartime memoir, "The Taliban Shuffle." The story recounts Barker’s experiences covering conflicts in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It's said to be a dark comedy dealing with Barker's fish-out-of-water experience and the challenges of being a woman in wartime Afghanistan and Pakistan.

This was a great story and I thought Tina Fey was perfectly cast for it.  It was a good autobiographical story and was very well paced.  My only knock against it is that it's was marketed as a comedy and it really wasn't.  The movie was much more of a character drama with some funny lines here and there.  

The movie was a pretty good watch and I would recommend people checking it out.  Just don't expect the laugh out loud comedy that all the ads would lead you to believe.
