Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016) is a war dramedy you can watch online on iFILM. Tina Fey stars as reporter Kim Baker, who trades a New York editing desk for a posting in an active war zone.

Bored and restless, Kim takes a correspondent job in Kabul. Routine evenings give way to curfews, gunfire down the block, and a hard-drinking expat press corps running on adrenaline. She falls in with a fearless colleague named Tanya (Margot Robbie), a wry photographer (Martin Freeman), a local fixer, and a blunt Marine colonel played by Billy Bob Thornton. The story comes from the memoir of real war journalist Kim Barker.

Directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa keep one foot in dark comedy and one in a sober report on burnout under fire. The odd title is military shorthand: the phonetic alphabet spelling out WTF. Stream Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016) online on iFILM.
