11/23/2023 0 Comments Tango foxtrotJust as it looks as though Kim just isn’t cut out for this beat, a massively convenient plot device involving a Skype with her boyfriend cuts her restraints and she jumps into action both professionally, with some hot war footage, and amorously, with rude and sarcastic Scottish photographer Iain (Martin Freeman, in a vivid change of pace from his long Middle-earth and Baker Street gigs). Moderate later winter box-office appears in store for this very uneven blend of prankish black humor and topical drama. Which isn’t saying much, only that it’s moderately more amusing to follow Tiny Fey’s quick-study newshound through the fleshpots of Kabul and the peril of the militia-infested countryside than to suffer through Bill Murray floundering around as a Hollywood music manager who discovers a wonderful singer in the middle of nowhere - even if it seems as though both films used many of the same sets and locations. Apropos of Hollywood’s now-burgeoning sub-genre of comedies about initially hapless non-combatants who find themselves in Afghanistan, it can be decisively stated that Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is superior to last year’s Rock the Kasbah.
