Jackie Brown

Pros: A more mature Quentin Tarantino film, with his dialogue and style left intact
Cons: Some find it overlong and overdull; I sure as heck don't

I waited a long time to see "Jackie Brown", because I heard it wasn't any good, and I didn't want to tarnish the memory of "Reservoir Dogs" or "Pulp Fiction", two of the most influential films in my personal cinematic history. Both films were kinetic,...

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Nothing.

This is one of my favorite movies. I am a huge fan of Quentin Tarantino and his films. Pulp Fiction being his strongest and Jackie Brown being right behind it. I love this movie with a passion. With an amazing cast, a brilliant story and far beyond...

Pros: Great marriage of Elmore Leonard, Pam Grier with matured Tarrantino. See it again.
Cons: None-really.

Superb DVD package for a film that gets better with repeated viewings. More will appreciate with time like they have done with films like Scorcese's King of Comedy, Altman's Long Goodbye and Soderbergh's Out of Sight.

Quentin Tarantino...

Pros: Pretty much the entire cast, except Fonda
Cons: Bridget Fonda, and even I'll admit it's too long

I am Quentin Tarantino's bizzitch, and that's all there is to it. He's my favorite living director (Kubrick would be my favorite deceased, in case you were wondering), and it's not too much to say that I'd watch an in-depth scientific analysis of baby ...

Pros: Complex Plot, Good Cast, Great Directing
Cons: None

This is a must see movie. I am a big fan of Quentin Tarantino films and he delivers perfectly in Jackie Brown. Tarantino has a unique style of portraying the little things in life. This quality in his films make them highly relatable. One scene...

Pros: see review
Cons: see review

It's funny how basic truths can be misleading. The promotions for "Jackie Brown" mention something about six players after a half million dollars in cash, while at the same time playing each other, and for the most part this is true. However, the hook to...

Pros: The soundtrack, the story, the acting.
Cons: none

Jackie Brown is another brilliant movie from Tarantino. As in Pulp Fiction, Tarantino does an outstanding job of combining story with soundtrack. I would highly suggest purchasing the soundtrack for this movie...Bobby Womack, Minnie Ripperton, The...

Pros: Great cast, compelling story, clever.
Cons: Little slow at times.

Movies that center their theme around money-drops and guns usually aren't my favorite, but Jackie Brown has a sort of magic mixed with reality that is hard to resist. It's clever, funny, and makes you think. It can be a little confusing at times,...

Pros: everything
Cons: nothing

This is one you'll want to wait a few years before showing them. The story is about a flight attendant, played very well by Pam Grier, who realizes that her career opportunities are limited. Her big chance to ensure a better retirement comes in the...

Pros: Excellent character study, brilliant direction
Cons: It's a bit slow, and lacks some of the characteristic Tarantinoesque touches that have made him famous

Anyone who felt that Quentin Tarantino's work in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction was merely smoke and mirrors should drop what they're doing and go see Jackie Brown. This is Tarantino's third and most recent movie, and in some ways...

Pros: Well told story, great characters, funky sound track
Cons: The usual Tarantino excess

I like Quinten Tarantino, I’m not a diehard fan, but I do enjoy most of his work. I recently got around to seeing Jackie Brown, and I must say, I feel it is one of his stronger films. It is very similar to Pulp Fiction and most of his other work in a lot ...

Pros: script, direction, cast, originality
Cons: violence, profanity

Watching "Jackie Brown" for the second time, still somewhat confused from its intricate plot of criminal double crosses, I was reminded of "Get Shorty", which had the same bewildering complexity. It turns out that both films were...

Pros: Possibly Tarantino's best film. De Niro. Samuel L. Jackson.
Cons: Lots of dialogue (but it's cool)

I like to think I know my cinema. I can bandy the word “noir” around when I get confused, rattle off a dozen French director’s names to impress the chicks, and slag the mass-produced Hollywood blockbusters like I’d be the first to knock $20 million back...

Pros: Inspired casting, top-notch performers.
Cons: None

Quentin Tarantino is back in full force, directing his first full feature film since 1994’s Pulp Fiction. And while Jackie Brown has the same unique direction and great “trashy” dialogue of Pulp Fiction, it also has a maturity and discipline that...

Pros: Grier, Jackson and a slew of good performances
Cons: Two hour plus length

What's a 44 year old black woman with a 16,000 salary to do when she gets caught delivering $50,000 dollars in cash into the US? Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) is a flight attendant, who also works for arms dealer Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson), is caught...
