Review of Tape

Tape (I) (2020)
5/10
Below average film, with a terrific performance by Isabelle Fuhrman as its only saving grace.

I get the sentiments that this movie is trying to convey. But the delivery, especially in the last act of the film, was executed poorly.

It's a shame that an underrated talented actress (Isabelle Fuhrman), is wasted in a film that was written and directed by a hack (Deborah Kampmeier).

"Tape" wants to be a scream of vengeful rage that echoes down through the ages of abuse. But the film is best when it's simply recording one instance of it.

There's actually so much potential here, an excellent premise, a talented lead actress, yet it's all just kinda lost and the end result is a mess.

If you really want to see a #MeToo film where a female gets revenge on sick perverted men, I highly recommend "I Spit on Your Grave" (2010) and it's two sequels.
