Overlooked

Rating: 6/10 (8 September 2019)

Rarely mentioned by anyone as their favourite Tarantino film I found very little wrong with this at all to be quite honest, except possibly the runtime which is arguably the most unjust of his film career but still walks the fine line of not becoming too long and unwelcoming. The character of Jackie Brown is as you'd expect the main highlight of the film with Grier delivering an excellent performance amongst a number of others. De Niro is somehow practically sidelined by his fellow stars and Jackson really thrives as he does in any role he's had under Tarantino and steals the show with some of the greatest quotes of his individual career. The plot is as complex as you'd imagine and is as thrilling as Reservoir dogs and dare I say it pulp fiction, filled with twists and turns, double crosses and solid action leading towards an explosive climax and slightly somber end. Its hard to argue its the best of his works but if you're wanting something a little different and slightly more toned down compared to the 8 other films he's made, I'd highly recommend this
