probably Tarantino's finest effort

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2014)

Jackie Brown is probably the only movie by Quentin Tarantino i'd watch more than once. The reason is that in this one we see characters, not caricatures. We even see an occasional moment of genuine emotion by some of them.
Of course, with Tarantino it is always a question whether there is a higher meaning behind his output. Jackie Brown is a crime thriller, but i haven't been able to find any context apart the obvious.
The cast is well chosen, the setting the regular shady world of crooks and gangsters. As with all his movies, a superb soundtrack accompanied it. And on the wave of success of Pulp Fiction i think this is where Tarantino decided to make a movie in every possible genre he loved. Everything filmed after Jackie Brown confirms my assumption.
