Rating: 3/4 --
Taps works as an uncommonly engrossing story, primarily because the performances are so well done.

Chicago Sun-Times
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.

New York Times
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.

Variety
Taps is a well crafted and original film about the perils of false heroes and uncontrolled militarism.
