Has its flaws, but is for the most part enjoyable

Rating: 9/10 (5 May 2020)

Funny, well acted, and well directed as always, Tarantino's Jackie Brown may not be his best work, but it certainly is a noble effort. The film has many rather good performances, most notably Pam Grier as Jackie Brown herself, as well as Robert Forster and Robert De Niro. The film is very humorous, and its setting is less glamorous than other Tarantino films, but it certainly is a fresh and unique perspective. It's soundtrack is very good, and the films cinematography is quite interesting. The film's biggest flaw however, is its slow nature and pacing throughout. It proves to keep its head enough to be mildly entertaining, but the film does have its share of dull moments scattered throughout. The writing is decent for the most part, but at times feels a little too drawn out, and takes away from the interesting nature it has going for it. In the end, Jackie Brown is certainly not a great film, but a enjoyable enough watch that has some rather good performances, and plenty of good elements to keep you satisfied enough through its runtime. It may lack that something extra special, but it is funny, and well directed, and is remarkably consistent.
My Rating: 8.5/10
