Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Rated R
Frustrated with her career path, reporter Kim Baker accepts
an assignment as a war correspondent in Afghanistan. By adjusting to the Spartan living conditions and cultural
differences, forming new friendships and competing for stories, Kim finds her
resourcefulness, inner strength and “voice.”
Based on Kim Baker’s memoir, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is intelligent, touching and funny. Though it’s a lighter take on war than Eye in the Sky, both films show that war
is horrific.
Eye in the Sky
Rated R
Colonel Katherine Powell leads a joint military operation
between The United Kingdom, Kenya and the US that involves surveillance and
drones. When the venture changes
from a capture to kill operation, the leaders struggle to find an acceptable
amount of collateral damage while preventing a major terrorist attack.
A tense, yet slowly unfolding drama, Eye in the Sky, keeps the viewer engaged the entire film. It effectively presents the moral
dilemma of taking a few lives to prevent the loss of many and shows there is no
“right” answer.
