Review of Jackie Brown (1997) by Aaron C — 13 Feb 2016
People forget that this is based on (or a least minor) adaptation of an Elmore Leonard novel. So it does feel that's something's missing in this film that's not to say it isn't any good, it's actually a great film.
Quentin Tarantino's third film is full of great performances, some good edgy drama and some wit, that fact that this isn't his own "design" was disappointing but he still directs with energy and at times engaging.
Tarantino has once again defied the critics and produced a movie that solidly establishes him as still the most important filmmaker of the decade. It maybe a film he didn't write but he's still one of the best directors around and still adds that touch of humour to it.
