Very Watchable, A Different Shade of Tarantino

Rating: 7/10 (21 March 2007)

When I think of Tarantino's films, I think of strong gory violence, non-chronological order and very showy films. They tend to be very action dominant; Jackie Brown, however, is rather different.
It still has killing but they are toned down. We do not see limbs being removed with samurai swords, blood spouting from every orifice or brain matter splattered all over a car.
The film itself flows very well and has a good plot. I did however find it a little predictable at times but it was still an entertaining watch. The casting was good and managed to fit their characters very well.
In summary, if you have seen pulp fiction et al and are expecting much of the same then think again, you will find probably find this film very bland. However, this film does provide an entertaining watch with a gripping story and is certainly not bad.
