This movie is a nice change from Hollywood movies. It is not about visual effects or soundtracks, nor $20 million actors. It simply tells a dramatic and interesting story about 3 former high school friends. Reading the back of the video, I thought it might be boring, but once I was into the movie I was very interested. Near the ending, I was actually on the edge of seat, waiting to see what the characters would do next.
I give this movie five stars. If you like theatre, you will enjoy this movie; it is an adaptation of a Broadway play. Think of this movie as going to a one set play staring Ethan Hawke. If you do not enjoy the theatre, I would move on to another movie.

THIS MOVIE WAS A SUPREME WASTE OF MY TIME WITH A VERY DISJOINTED PLOT WHICH I BECAME VERY WEARY OF TRYING TO DECIPHER. NEARLY THE ENTIRE MOVIE TAKES PLACE IN A HOTEL ROOM WITH LENGTHY MONOLOGUES. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.

First off, I don' rate any movies five. Second, this wouldn't be a 3 but somewhere in between a 3 and 4. This movie mightily kicked booty. Who would have ever thought lying, rape and snorting coke could get anyone into trouble? Let me tell you that Uma Thurman was sick in this movie. She undoubtedly stole the show, because, in essence, this was a show that just happened to be made into a movie. I would rate this movie over any oscar nominated films of that year like A Beautiful mind, even if math musicians smoke cigarettes and are ripped and yet still get to shag beautiful women. Watch this movie. Than watch Waking Life. Don't watch Dazed N Confused. It sucked.

This movie adaption of an off-broadways play is intriguing and somwhat disturbing the first time through. The second and third viewings reveal a depth and compexity of characters seldom seen in modern dramas, stage or screen. All three actors (Hawke, Thurman, Leonard) give outstanding performances portraying characters that are not simply "good" or "bad", but a little bit of everything, just like any real person. A commentary track, featuring Hawke and director Linklater, is a wonderful bonus, giving veiwers some idea of the visions that came together to make this movie as deeply thought-provoking as it is. This is a must see for anyone interested in quality drama, or the complexity of the human condition, for that matter.

It's really a shame that a movie like this gets so little hype. "Tape" is completely stripped down. Three actors, one motel room, and no CGI dream sequences. This movie defines the term "dialogue-driven". There is more violence and invasion in the plan hatched by Hawke's character than in big-budget "thrillers". It has a lot to say about how personalities and memory work to lend differing degrees of significance to events that happened years ago. These characters struggle with their past relationships to each other, while at the same time trying to figure out how (or if) they relate to each other after years of being apart. I was captivated by seeing these characters work out their dramas with each other. The camera-work is claustrophobic, the dialogue and situations are relatively believable, and the suspense and perfromances are riveting. If you think that you can watch a whole film that lacks physical violence, nudity and eye candy, then give it a whirl.
