Reviews for Taps
The extras are economical yet excellent, while the brand new Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer makes the picture look better than it probably ever has before.
Fine acting from Hutton, Scott and a baby-faced Tom Cruise in an early supporting part, make it watchable and more credible than it deserves to be.
