Review of Jackie Brown (1997) by Zach C — 06 Jan 2013

â??Jackie Brownâ?? is an another great movie from Quentin Tarantino, who also made some of my favorites like â??Pulp Fictionâ??, â??Kill Bill Vol 1,2â??, and â??Inglorious Basterdsâ??. This film is not much considered a masterpiece from Tarantino but still it is another film that is watchable and worth the 2 and 1/2 hours time. What I like in this movie is that acting never goes low, especially to Pam Grier, playing the title role/name, who was a stewardess, that has been caught by two cops which are Ray Nicolette (Michael Keaton) and Mark Durgus (Michael Bowen). Also a bail bondsmen Max (Robert Forster). We also have Ordell (Sam Jackson), Louis (Rob De Niro), and Melanie (Bridget Fonda), which also didn't expect us audiences to die at the end. This is what I like on Tarantino films, they are super unpredictable, you won't expect these characters that are on a good shape will die unexpectedly.

Unlike â??Pulp Fictionâ??, this film is for me, a look at these characters connection to Jackie Brown and they interconnected to money, greed, jealousy, and betrayal, all leading to a beautiful and well done movie.
