Jackie Brown

The gunrunner Ordell Robbie use Jackie Brown's services for transferring the money that he has in Mexico for his traffics to his residence at L.A. Jackie Brown is an air hostess who works in a shabby aircraft company because she was formerly condemned for drug traffic. An Ordell's accomplice denounces Jackie Brown to police and she is arrested, but Ray Nicolette, the federal policeman suggests to her to works for the police in order to trap Ordell. This one discovers the trap and thinks to murder Jackie, but she reacts with a gun she had stolen to Max, another Ordell's accomplice. She negotiates a new plan with Ordell in order to do the transfer of his money. But, in fact, she has in mind to steal Ordell'dollars with Max's complicity to go away in foreign country. The movie is very well made and acted and is very pleasant to see.

Jackie Brown has very little of violent content that Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs had. But it got good dialogues and a very good story. And the actors almost carry the movie alone. All the actors are amazing. Samuel L. Jackson, Robert De Niro, Robert Foster, Michael Keaton, Bridget Fonda and Pam Grier all acts very good. You think that a movie that last for 150min. would be boring without action was wrong. It got very many good conversations and that are all the action you really need. If you are tired of Hollywood action, and thought Pulp Fiction was too violent you got here a good alternative where there is not focused on violence.

I only really watch kill bill and Jackie brown nowadays. The other QT films are dated. The latest one about whatever it was about we shut off after a hour as it was terrible. Jackie brown is sublime. It takes its time. The acting and soundtrack are dope. I like to think max and Jackie get together down the line.

Compared to Tarantino's more bombastic, more outrageous flicks, this is like very subtle. As a film it's not at all, but just compared to his filmography. I can see why many would rate it among his lessor efforts, but I thought it was particularly engaging and well-paced. It's still definitely a crime film but one can see the disappointment in those people who wanted more of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction-like levels of intensity and narrative. The performances here are solid (although Jackson continue to stay in the same comfort zone that he's always good at, even if unoriginal). This is probably middle of the pack for me, but sort of underrated
