- Based on a three-character, one-act play, Tape is set entirely in Room 19 of a seedy motel in Lansing, Michigan rented by Vince, an ill-tempered, outgoing party animal/drug dealer who's visited by his old high school friend Jon, a documentary filmmaker, where they pass the time reminiscing about the good old times which take a turn when Vince records their conversation with Jon admitting to a possible date-rape of Vince's old girlfriend Amy, who later shows up and opens up a new wave of talk and arguments about whose story is fact or fabricated.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
inklater must have recognized a kindred spirit when he read Belber's play. He's given us a reality-fantasy game, a psychodrama, a harangue, and a detective story all rolled into one"
-
"This is what great dialogue -- and by extension great movies -- is made of."
-
"Tape may not be a great movie, but it's a great demonstration of creativity within severe limitations."
-
"The writing, acting and direction are so convincing that at some point I stopped thinking about the constraints and started thinking about the movie's freedoms"
-
"For all of Linklater's acrobatic camera moves, you never quite escape the feeling you're watching a barely adapted TV version of a somewhat gimmicky stage play."
-
"Smart, unpredictable, and alive"
-
"A typical student film with its arty angles, bad lighting and pretentious observations"
