Here's the story of a female war correspondent covering the war in Afghanistan when there wasn't much interest in the war in Afghanistan. It is produced by Tina Fey which explains how she got herself to play the lead in a not pure comedy.
Tina Fey doesn't work to hard and doesn't break a sweat even in the dessert. Billy Bob Thornton seems uncomfortable but not nearly as distracting as Alfred Molina who looked like he was auditioning for a role in "Fiddler on the Roof". It was a bad audition.
There is plenty of drinking, drugs and swearing. If you are expecting a laugh a minute Tina Fey movie, this isn't it. If you want to be taken where you will never go, this is an interesting journey. There's a good use of extensive period music.
The movie doesn't need a big screen and will play well on home platforms. The language and violence my cause you to give up in the first thirty minutes but it eventually hits its stride and it is worth your time.
