WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT (Theatrical Release USA 2016)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot—not for most adults, pushes the NC-17 rating for content—gives a realistic view into the life of a war correspondent. Tina Fey begins the story with a few quirky early scenes, delivers a scream that doesn’t quite hit the realistic bell, but after that she settles into her role and gets her points across.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?

Maybe. The movie performs mostly as a ‘not most audience’s cup of tea’ film. It does not have wide audience range appeal.
