Full Review (Spoilers)

This movie felt like it could have used a bit more in their plot. It felt like a typical movie of an American’s viewpoint of the Middle Eastern lifestyle. The saving grace of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is the injection of their stars. They help improve the okay story. I would stick to buying a matinee ticket to see this movie.

DC's Hypothetical Corner

Let’s say I change one thing. Maybe that one thing will make this movie better or more watchable.

I’d give the plot more depth than a typical American view of the Middle East.
