About

You may like this if you enjoy stories about reporters under pressure, with a mix of humor and heart; Not for you if you want nonstop action or a purely broad comedy, though fans of Focus or 12 Strong may still appreciate it.

Pros: strong central performance; funny and touching moments; unique war-journalism angle | Cons: uneven tone; trailers oversell comedy; some story issues
