Jackie Brown

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: Strong ensemble cast, fun crime tale
Cons: Could have used some editing

Since Pulp Fiction came out, everyone's been wondering, what's Quentin Tarantino going to do next? Three years later, we have our answer in Jackie Brown, and it proves his two-time success with Pulp and Reservoir Dogs was no fluke. Yes, we had to sit...

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...

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: 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: Some funny dialogue, good performances all around, Tarantino is still a great director
Cons: A slight disappointment after seeing Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction

Huge hype surrounded Tarantino's follow-up film after Pulp Fiction. But did Jackie Brown live up to this hype? Yes and no. The trademark witty dialogue of Tarantino is there, but not the energy. There were actually parts of this movie that were slightly...

Pros: One badass movie!
Cons: One badass movie!

After screening "Jackie Brown" for the first time, my reaction was exactly the same as film critic Gene Siskel's. My reaction was just one word: "Wow!"

From writer/director Quentin Tarantino comes this beautifully crafted character study. Pam...

Pros: Samuel the man Jackson and QT direction
Cons: Too long and DeNiro not optimized for his skill.

This is an interesting movie from many angles. I really love their first hour but the second hour tends to drag a bit. It definitely is a Quentin T movie. Certain styles are QT similar to his other works like Reservoir Dog with the rock music as backdrop...

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: 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: Tarantino, soundtrack
Cons: Story, characters, "punch"

I saw this movie on video, since it never got me excited enough when it was in theaters. I found out why.

This movie much weaker. The characters lack the mesmerizing and charming eccentricity of past lineups. These are a bit harsh, a bit...

Pros: Great cast.
Cons: Too long, not focused enough.

I think I know what Quentin was trying to do...make a black comedy about a strong woman who gets the better of all the men in her life by stealing all her boss's money and getting away with it. However, maybe if her little sting operation didn't feel...

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: It was well acted, with a well done plot.
Cons: don't watch unless you in some way approve of Quentin Tarantino's previous works such as Pulp Fiction or Four Rooms.

This movie is an action-suspense-comedy kind of movie, but in some people's eyes, this movie shows that getting old hurts emotionally as shown by Pam Grier and an an Academy Award nominated role from Robert Forster. This movie is a story that is...

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,...
