Jackie Brown - A woman of substance

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 2011)

Quentino's third movie is supposedly the so-called weakest amongst all his works.It may be his weakest but still one of the better crime movies also. Jackie Brown(Pam Grier) is a flight stewardess, who actually smuggles money for a gun, runner,Ordell Robbie (Samuel. L. Jackson).
It's always been Tarantino's speciality and brilliance to show some completely isolated incidents and then relate them in a stylish, convincing and enthralling manner. Thus all the characters in his movies seems to be inter-related.
This movie, as the name suggests, is about Jackie Brown. This character can be one of the finest female movie characters, along with nurse Ratched, Beatrix Kiddo etc. Jackie Brown is a woman of substance.
All the characters are portrayed in a brilliant fashion starting from Bridget Fonda as "Melanie" to Robert De Niro as "Louis Gara". But the movie belongs to Samuel L. Jackson and Pam Grier, and even Michael Keaton and Robert Forster has to be mentioned when it comes to that.
P.S. Delfonics' "Didn't I Blow your Mind This Time" is superb
