What they share

Theysit in Drama / War territory. If that's the register that drew you to 12 Strong, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is

The film thinks it's shining a light on the absurdities of war reporting. Kim Baker, a bored journalist, takes a life-changing assignment covering the conflict in Afghanistan. It seems the movie just wanted to give Tina Fey something different to do.
