Staying in a shabby motel in Lansing, low-rank drug dealer and heavy drinker Vince invites his old high school friend. He’s trying to find out what happened between John and Amy, that one night at their school about 10 years ago. And he’s not planning to stop digging until his version of the story has been proven. | ||||||||

Tape is based on a three-character, one-act play and therefore almost solely depending on its actors and story. And well, they are both worthwhile. Imagine a suspenseful drama you are overhearing when some people arguing. But now, you're overhearing the follow-up argument in their private place and on your tv screen. Linklater makes a daring move by making this one stage movie and is easily able to pull it off.
