Review of Jackie Brown (1997) by Robwinz — 11 Dec 2020

Jackie Brown is a great movie. The movie's got an interesting story, which is about this flight attendant who's called Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) who's been caught smuggling gun money.

However, she's got to make a choice between teaming up with the cops to sort out her dealer boss or to keep her mouth shut and ending up in prison.

The movie's got some brilliant acting from each character throughout this movie but each character isn't that memorable.

The dialogue which is given throughout this movie is very mixed. There's some very strong dialogue followed up with some very weak dialogue, which sort of ruins the characters dialogue quite a bit.

Also, the cinematography which was shot by Guillermo Navarro is so beautiful. He does such a great job on capturing the scenes pretty well especially, the action scenes.

The pacing throughout this movie is very mixed. There's some great pacing towards certain build ups which end up happening in this movie and than there's some bad pacing, which ends up ruining some of the build ups.

The action scenes are all very well built up, despite some of the very weird pacing at times towards other build ups which end up happening throughout this movie.

Finally, the movie's even got a brilliant soundtrack, which has got quite a few great songs from such artists as Bill Withers, Johnny Cash, The Brothers Johnson and many more.

Overall, Jackie Brown is a great movie, despite some of it's problems. The movie's got an interesting story, brilliant acting, beautiful cinematography, well built up action scenes and a brilliant soundtrack.
