Review of Jackie Brown (1997) by Thomas G — 08 Jun 2011
As the second Tarantino film I have seen, I am very impressed by this Drama/Blacksploitation film, Jackie Brown. This very much captures what a hiest film today should be (not that bulls**t Takers). It is suspenseful and fillled with tension.
This is helped by the wonderful performances by Pam Grier (as Jackie Brown), Samuel Jackson, and Robert Forster. The score, as well as the liscenced songs, are greatly chosen and they fit right into the plotline.
This is probably one of the greatest soundtracks I have ever heard (next to The Crow's soundtrack). My only real complaint (which is not much to say)... is that I don't think Quentin Tarantino is great at writing dialogue.
.. for African American characters. There are lines of dialogue that used the N-Word so much that I wanted to see the original script and see if the original lines were "n*****-n*****-n*****-n*****-n*****".
However, this does not bring the film to any lower of a rating.
