Tarantino's Casablanca

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2005)

Time will prove this movie a masterpiece. "Jackie Brown" has pacing, intelligence, laughs, atmosphere, and thrills -- none the least of which are in the utterly honest and often hilarious dialogue -- but mostly it has heart.
Tarantino has created a love story for the 1990s and a song for the ages. Max Cherry and Jackie Brown are easily the hottest middle-aged mismatched couple in movie history, and just as sweet as a child's first crush. I saw the film for the first time last night, and I honestly miss the pair of them already. I intend to buy the DVD so I can savor them and their clever, soulful, poignant adventure, again and again and again.
