Leave your thoughts about Taps.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertTaps works as an uncommonly engrossing story, primarily because the performances are so well done. All of the cadet roles are well acted, not only by seasoned actors like Hutton but even by the very young kids who struggle with guns and realities much too large for them. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesThis proudly apolitical drama can probably be embraced by people on either side of the ideological fence. |
| Common Sense MediaHeather BoernerA complex, violent movie for older teens only. |
| VarietyVariety StaffA heavy dramatic portrait of military school education with a disturbing shoot 'em up climax, Taps labors at an unbearably slow pace to an inevitable, depressing conclusion. |
| Associated PressBob ThomasTaps is a well crafted and original film about the perils of false heroes and uncontrolled militarism. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumContrived military school drama; down with the establishment! |
| Filmcritic.comPete Croattoprovides a nice allegory on the military's limits |
| CinemaniaDan JardineMildly engaging, but burdened by a predictable climax. |
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyAn absorbing, tension-filled and intelligently-written drama...Taps has aged like fine wine. |
| Apollo GuideScott WeinbergFans of Penn and Cruise should enjoy this very early glimpse at their heroes, and Hutton (one of Hollywood's all-time most underrated actors) holds the movie together. |
