Richard Linklater has long been known for his knack for getting a lot of a little. Movies like "Slacker" pushed the boundaries of conventional filmmaking, and took your preconceptions and stomped them to dust. Even his mainstream breakthrough "Dazed and Confused" seemed surreally barebones in its structure. However, with "Tape", Linklater took his style to whole new heights of complex simplicity (yes, that was an intentional oxymoron).

The Bottom Line:
Drawing its strength from a performance by Ethan Hawke that's so good it forever made me like him as an actor when I previously hated him, Tape is an ingeniously claustrophobic drama from Richard Linklater.
Rating: -
Talented director Linklater dares to sustain a drama on a single dingy set, and thanks to a biting script and superb performances, succeeds. Though Thurman expertly plays the pivotal role of Amy, less a victim than a detached female looking on with bemusement at two ranting males, the show is Hawke's and Leonard's, as the two men wage a savage battle of wits, with life-changing implications. Taut, holding, and clever, "Tape" is immensely satisfying fare.

This film is over-rated at 4 stars. It starts off slow and eventually gets to something that is interesting. But it's very pretentious and not very believable.

If you see this movie heading your way, duck for cover. Tape is a film of almost unimaginable cruelty. Three very good actors, Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Robert Sean Leonard, (now seen on the excellent TV show, House), are trapped in a cheesy motel room for 83 minutes, more to the point, you are trapped in there with them. This is the kind of film that aches for an obligatory car chase, frat house bikini contest, or helicopter crash.
It's easy to affix the blame. Stephen Belber wrote ... Read More
