Tape

Film Description

Richard Linklater, known for directing films that take place over a one-day period (Slacker, Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise), takes that concept even further with Tape. Adapted from the Stephen Belber play, it takes place in a Lansing, Michigan hotel room, where two old friends reunite ten years after graduation. Vince (Ethan Hawke), a lackadaisical firefighter who pays the rent by selling pot, and John (Robert Sean Leonard), a self-assured filmmaker whose debut feature is set to screen at the Lansing Film Festival, greet each other with smiles and hugs. But as their conversation becomes more personal, Vince brings up a grudge from the past. He is convinced that on the night before graduation, John date-raped his ex-girlfriend, Amy (Uma Thurman), and he won't rest until John tells him what really happened. When Amy arrives at the hotel room and joins the old friends, she detonates the explosive situation.
