Rating: 4/5 --
This proudly apolitical drama can probably be embraced by people on either side of the ideological fence.

A 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.

Rating: 3/5 --
It examines the danger of power without leadership, and it also reveals what can happen when your home is threatened.

A reactionary movie in which the old jingoistic values appear to be nostalgically glorified.

The director takes the movie to a melodramatic terrain that lacks any meaning. [Full Review in Spanish]

Though it has been seriously directed by Harold Becker and seriously written by Darryl Ponicsan and Robert Mark Kamen, the movie is less serious than absurd, though without ever being funny.
