Not one of Tarantino's best but worth a watch

Jackie Brown is right up any Tarantino fans alley but unforunately will be disappointed to see that it lacks the disorganized brilliance of Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs grittiness. When an air flight attendant is caught smuggling cash for ruthless gun... Full review

Jackie Brown is good. I like their lines in the movie. But Bridget Fonda is so hot wearing nothing but Bikinis in that movie. PAm Grier is alright. Jackie Brown is about being cool. Chris Tucker is even funny movie, he... Full review

This is a straightforward old fashion Caper Movie. The characters are a collection of twisted individuals out trying to make off with a large sum of ill-gotten money. I liked the part were the key scene in the movie is repeated... Full review

It's too long, and doesn't really pick up until the mall stuff starts, but it's very entertaining and a lot of fun to figure out. The non-linear storyline works wonders with the money sequence. Grier and Forster are great, and Keaton... Full review

Jackie Brown , based on Elmore Leonard's exceptional novel Rum Punch , was QT's first adaptation, albeit a loose one, of another's work.....We don't think Tarantino's made a truly bad film yet, just a couple that aren't as good as his best efforts.....not distracting, the film's imperfections as a result of this relationship provide some of the more interesting moments in the film.....She manages to slip in some great lines with that always cool delivery that are sure to be quoted again and again by film ge ...

Tarantino's best film to date.....Very good picture.....Quentin Tarantino's follow-up to "Pulp Fiction" is quite possibly the best film her has made.....Of course, Jackie Brown is also a strong, smart woman who will fight to her last breath to survive..... ... Full Review

Jackie Brown is a collection of great characters interacting in a first-rate 'detective fiction' kind of yarn. Robert Forster is extremely sympathetic as a bail bondsman with ethics, who trusts Jackie out of love. Grier is terrific in the film. ... Full Review
