Special Correspondents (2016)

A bad-boy radio journalist and a technician are assigned coverage of an uprising in South America, but lose their passports and tickets on the way to the airport. So, they hole up across the street from the station and fake their on-location broadcasts -- eventually being forced to fake their own kidnapping in order to keep the fiction going.

The story is interesting and the dim restauranteurs who house the pair made me chuckle a few times. But, unfortunately, the script never really allows the situation to be played at full force. The technician's wife is a horrible opportunist, but we only see what the public does and must infer the rest. Kelly McDonald, as a love interest, is muted to the point of almost being non-existent. It's a missed opportunity with some truly surprising violence near the end.
