Tape

Lansing’s reunion weekend meets a hostage thriller without the hostages. A filmmaker’s homecoming with his old friend—a fireman who moonlights as a dealer—starts warmly, then curdles into unresolved scores from the past. The static camera traps two men on the edge of a confession neither wants to make.
