All rights reserved.Jackie Brown (2005, DVD)
| Movie Description Quentin Tarantino returns to the crime genre once again with this adaptation of Elmore Leonard's RUM PUNCH. Transplanting Leonard's crime story from Miami to Tarantino's city of choice, Los Angeles, JACKIE BROWN cruises along smoothly, much like the film's 1970s soul soundtrack. The film follows Jackie Brown (Pam Grier), a flight attendant who makes extra cash by running drugs and cash for sleazebag Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson). When Jackie sees the opportunity to make off with a large chunk of change, she begins to play everyone around her, including two detectives who are threatening her with jail time if she doesn't rat out Ordell, and a sympathetic bail bondsman (Robert Forster) who finds himself falling for Jackie. Tarantino sets a pace that is laid back and groovy, building to an eventual climax that determines whether or not Jackie walks away with the booty. In much the same way that Tarantino resuscitated John Travolta's career with PULP FICTION, he does the same thing here with Grier and Forster. Overall, JACKIE BROWN is a less in-your-face effort than Tarantino's previous films, but it's this downshift in gears that makes it so refreshing.

The film is based on Elmore Leonard's novel RUM PUNCH. Tarantino didn't even realize that the character of Jackie Brown was written as a white woman until after he cast Pam Grier in the lead role. Robert Forster received a Best Supporting Actor nomination for his role in JACKIE BROWN at the 1997 Academy Awards. This was his first role in a major film since 1969's MEDIUM COOL. Michael Keaton portrays agent Ray Nicolette, the same Elmore Leonard-written character he plays in Steven Soderbergh's OUT OF SIGHT. In the film, Jackie Brown gets take-out from Teriyaki Donut, the same place Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) got food from in PULP FICTION.

Top Reviews  One of my Lesser Tarantino FavesReview created: 07/30/06 by:  1 of 7 people found this review helpful. This movie was one of my least favorite Tarantino movies. That is not to say that it was bad. The plot line was slower as was the action than i am accustomed to when it comes to Tarantino. As is typical, though, he is paying homage to old actors and old moves, which many of his fans have come to appreciate. Itis worth a look. But if you were choosing a Tarantino movie to watch, this would, perhaps, be the last one I would recommend you watch. Review ID: 10000000001455767 Was this review helpful?

Report this review Jackie Brown a superior twist of Foxy BrownReview created: 05/06/08 by: Jackie Brown still stands the test of time. Quentin Tarantino is a master at the art of taking us through a story with twists, turns and suprising results. This is an entertaining script with amuzing situations, memorable lines and an all-star cast including Robert Deniro, Briget Fonda and Samuel L Jackson. Pam Grier IS Jackie Brown. I highly recommend this movie. To paraphrase Sam Jackson,"If you have to thrill every mutha in the room except no substitute." Review ID: 10000000007018680 Was this review helpful?
