Every Margot Robbie Movie Ranked From Worst To Best

17. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (2016)

As a movie boasting as potentially dangerous a premise as a comedy revolving around the war in Afghanistan, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot could have been a lot worse. However, at the same time, it could have been a lot better. It feels like the premise alone should have made the film more memorable than it ultimately became.

The plot revolves around Tina Fey's Kim Baker, a reporter who moves to the war-torn country on an assignment and ultimately loves what she does despite the subject she is covering and the difficulties faced as a woman.

Margot Robbie's involvement comes as a friend but also as journalistic competition, as Tanya Vanderpoel goes behind Kim's back for her own job. It's a typically strong performance from Robbie, as she walks the line between comedy and drama better than anyone else in the film. If only the Australian twang in her London accent wasn't too difficult to ignore.
