Very good

Rating: 9/10 (7 June 2006)

I do not understand why this movie is not noticed among the movie world. If I were to ask somebody who directed Jackie Brown, I do not think they would be able to tell me. This movie, although not nearly as action packed as Pulp Fiction, has great dialogue and at times can be very humorous. The soundtrack is arguably Tarantino's best (And he knows his music) and the characters are well rounded and unique. Although some people feel like the ending is bad and in some ways ruins the movie, I felt as if it were the perfect fit for a movie like this. Also, each character seems to get their own scene to show off both the actor's talents and the way the character acts compared to those around them. ElmoreLeonard's writing mixed with Tarantino's attitude make this movie a sure 10/10 and it is enjoyable, if not more enjoyable, every time I see it. Tarantino knew his material, and turned it into one of the best movies I've ever seen.
It might take a second viewing to truly appreciate it. If you don't focus so much on the plot, which is phenomenal, the second time around and focus on the amazing dialogue, you will see what makes this movie a true gem.
