VHS Movie Reviews of Jackie Brown
Movie Review: Might Be Quentin's Best....
Summary: 4 Stars
4 and 1/2 Stars.
The story of a 44 yr old black woman struggling to get over a criminal past and a mid-life crisis serves as Quentin Tarantino's follow up to his super successful 'Pulp Fiction'. This, a much more character driven piece, is probably his most realistic and linear film of the five he's completed.
There's not much to say here. The movie is so entertaining. There is a terrific heist plot going on but what really makes the film are the 'hang-out' scenes, the incredible dialogue and relationships that exist between the characters. This is what inspires multiple viewings of the film, the chance to see these guys interact with each other. The acting comes off as realistic and humorous which makes the film, although tense and suspenseful at times, a comforting story to watch.
Funny, sly, clever, the movie is thoroughly enjoyable.

Summary: 5 Stars
Jackie Brown is one of the most underrated movies to be released in 1997. Quentin Tarantino made a gritty adult film which featured one of the most underrated actress of the sevnties Pam Grier. While the film isn't as violent as Dogs or Fiction. Samuel L. Jackson gives a great performance and the cameo from Chris Tucker is hilarousMovie Review: Classic Tarantino
Summary: 5 Stars
'Jackie Brown' has suffered from the case of being an amazing film that's less amazing than the other amazing works of the director, in this case Quentin Tarantino. Because of this it's amazingly underrated but by no means is a weak film. The film revolves around the story of flight attendant Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) who works out a scheme with a bailbondsman (Robert Forster) to swindle a massive cash smuggle from under the nose of both the DEA and drug/gun runner Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson in yet another amazing Tarantino flick performance) for whom the money was for. It doesn't have the tension, rush, or paranoia of 'Pulp Fiction' or 'Reservoir Dogs' but those two set the standard so high that it's really not all that surprising that 'Jackie Brown' is essentially forgotten about. Bridget Fonda, Robert DeNiro, Chris Tucker, and Michael Keaton all have standout minor roles as well. Highly recommended.Movie Review: One Cool Movie packed with great features
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is great! Not only does it contain a great movie but the special features are some of the most in depth and informative I have ever seen. We all already know what a gifted writer/director QT is and I think that this is one of his best works (next to Pulp Fiction of course) and that it has quickly become a worthy cult classic.
Summary of Jackie Brown
The curiosity of Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown is Robert Forster's worldly wise bail bondsman Max Cherry, the most alive character in this adaptation of Elmore Leonard's Rum Punch. The Academy Awards saw it the same way, giving Forster the film's only nomination. The film is more "rum" than "punch" and will certainly disappoint those who are looking for Tarantino's trademark style. This movie is a slow, decaffeinated story of six characters glued to a half million dollars brought illegally into the country. The money belongs to Ordell (Samuel?L. Jackson), a gunrunner just bright enough to control his universe and do his own dirty work. His just-paroled friend--a loose term with Ordell--Louis (Robert De Niro) is just taking up space and could be interested in the money. However, his loyalties are in question between his old partner and Ordell's doped-up girl (Bridget Fonda). Certainly Fed Ray Nicolette (Michael Keaton) wants to arrest Ordell with the illegal money. The key is the title character, a late-40s-ish flight attendant (Pam Grier) who can pull her own weight and soon has both sides believing she's working for them. The end result is rarely in doubt, and what is left is two hours of Tarantino's expert dialogue as he moves his characters around town.Tarantino changed the race of Jackie and Ordell, a move that means little except that it allows Tarantino to heap on black culture and language, something he has a gift and passion for. He said this film is for an older audience although the language and drug use may put them off. The film is not a salute to Grier's blaxploitation films beyond the musical score. Unexpectedly the most fascinating scenes are between Grier and Forster: two neo-stars glowing in the limelight of their first major Hollywood film after decades of work. --Doug Thomas
