best movie i've ever seen.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Jackie Brown is probably the least Tarantin-esque film ever written or directed by Quentin Tarantino, mostly due to its chronological order of storytelling and lack of explicit violence. That said, it still retains many of his unique writing and directing features that have created such a large fanbase over the years. All in all, a concrete and coherent story of mischief, crafty schemes, punchy dialogue and well-delivered closure, Jackie Brown has rightfully achieved classic status and its many virtues keep it entirely watchable, more than 20 years after its initial release.

A Tarantino that is less comic book and almost romantic. Good acting, good action and a slow burn thrill that does not abate even after the end. Why? Because we know that stealing huge wad of mob money can't be good for long.

It's based on "Rum Punch," a novel by Elmore Leonard and for those readers among us, that is a very familiar name. Leonard has a way with dialogue as much as he has a writing style with some of the most irritating transitions in modern pop literature.But he also has a tendency to spin unique plot webs that you never really see from any other writer.Most of the time it is the mundane tried and true "Cop and the witness against the bad guy, serial killer, mafia boss...enter cliché here" motif that you've seen in a million other movies. Elmore always takes it a step further for the sake of originality.Instead of the same old thing you have the Bail bondsman and the middle-aged Stewardess against two corrupt ATF agents and an arms dealer with delusions of grandeur.What could be better? You have the pairing of Leonard and Tarantino, two masters of dialogue, two masters of entertaining plot lines that come together to give you a little gem of a film that you will never see the like.

Jackie Brown is a very good film. I enjoyed most of it. The performances and story were also great. But despite all that, this film still has a few flaws. And the biggest one is that it doesn't feel like it has that Quentin Tarantino magic. Tarantino is one of the best film makers out there, and its because of his unique style that most directors don't have. His over the top gore scenes and his long and tense scenes filled with sharp dialogue are what Jackie Brown is missing. Its why I didn't gave it a nine and its why its not one of Tarantino's better films. Also it seemed like it needed to be a bit shorter. There are a few story elements that didn't work and had the chance to do something else with it but didn't. And Samuel L. Jackson's performance seemed a little too much and unnecessary, even for him. But I still have to say that the music was really good as usual in Tarantino films.
