Tarantino's worst film

Rating: 7/10 (26 August 2004)

Jackie Brown was not a bad movie, but just a disappointment, since I was expecting so much more from a Quentin Tarantino movie. The movie still had the same style to it as all of Tarantino's other films, but the movie was a lot different and not as enjoyable as Tarantino's other films. Of course, this movie was based on a novel, so Tarantino didn't write it, he just wrote the script. The story is too drawn out, but the acting and directing are excellent, and there are a few very cool scenes that make the movie worth while. Sam Jackson plays a very funny part, and it was fun to see Robert De Niro in a Tarantino film. Both actors, as always, played their roles very well. It was a treat to see Michael Keaton in the film, as well as Chris Tucker. I'd rate Jackie Brown right beneath Kill Bill Vol. 2 as far as Quentin Tarantino films go. This was not a bad movie, just a little disappointing and too drawn out. If you rented the movie, you might want to watch it half at a time so that you won't get bored out of your mind during certain scenes. Seven stars out of ten.
