Review of Tape

Tape (2001)
8/10
"Play" It!
9 June 2002
Warning: Spoilers
I have to `rewind' my mind and think back on a film that was entirely set in one location and just included 3 characters. I had to `stop' play because I could not think of any. That is why I am glad that colloquy Director Richard Linklater created the film `Tape'. The movie is set entirely in a hotel room inhabited by 3 opinionated, dissatisfied, and conversationalist friends whom look back at a high school rape with entrenched emotion. It stars Ethan Hawke, Robert Sean Leonard, and Uma Thurman. It is their acting that made this `Tape' sound as good as the original play it was based on. Linklater, who also wrote the screenplay, is one of the best character oriented directors today. If you have not already, you should `link' on to some his former films such as: `Suburbia', `Waking Life', and `Dazed & Confused'. So remember to `fast forward' yourself to your local video store and play his `Tape' today! **** Good
