There is something wrong with this motherf*****ng thing.

Rating: 1/10 (19 March 2006)

I have seen this film now 2 times and have really tried to like it, but failed miserably both times. And I think it's not my fault.
I was not expecting this to be another "Pulp" or "Reservoir" , but at least it is sensible to expect interesting characters with cool dialogue when watching film by the Tarantino. Well, you get neither.
The directing isn't bad and acting is OK, but nothing great here. This is not one of those films that you play on DVD over and over again just to replay some cool scenes. There is no sense to make this kind of little above average "realistic" dramas if your name is Quentin Tarantino. The man has a very special talent for creating pulp stories with pulp characters. Tarantino should be proud of that and stick with his talents.
Same goes for Kill Bill. Great Tarantino flicks(Reservoir, Pulp + Romance) are not about action, not about drama, they are all about cool characters with cool dialogue. Jackie Brown is not a great Tarantino film - it's not even a great genre film. Just an above average crime drama. Nothing more, nothing less.
Note that while I really give this a score of 6½/10, I voted for 1. Just for frustration and to tone down the overrated score this movie gets.
