QT is still on top

Rating: 9/10 (9 March 2008)

I only saw this for the first time recently. After being such a fan off everything else he did i hoped this wouldn't disappoint. Hoped? Ha! Like the guru of homage would disappoint. Not a chance. Pam Grier is a legend and should have won an Oscar for her wonderful performance as Jackie Brown. But what a supporting cast! De Niro (Fav Actor 01), Sammy L Jackson (Fav 02), Mickey Keaton, Bridget Fonda, Chris Tucker, My god! We basically follow Jackie Brown through her trials and tribulations. She is a 44 year old (still smoking though) air stewardess. She gets busted with money and drugs. After that she conspires to just leave her past life and the way to achieve this to help the cops. She gets a friend Robert Forster her bail-bondsman who also works for Samuel L Jackson, Jackie's boss. His friends, De Niro and Fonda are supposed to pick up money Jackie's flying in (under the noses of cops) but they get screwed in the end, De Niro kills Fonda, Sammy L kills De Niro and Sammy is murdered by the cops with the help of Jackie. Jackie leaves for Spain, after unsuccessfully trying to get Forster to go with her. Overall, another good movie by Tarantino 8/10
