Disappointing copy of Pulp Fiction

Rating: 5/10 (18 September 2009)

After Pulp Fiction, Tarantino was solid gold. Much like Peter Bogdanovich before him, it seemed like everything he touched was gold. However, he did something that even the biggest Tarantino fans won't quite forgive him for: Jackie Brown. This film, unlike Pulp Fiction, is not so inventive, is slow paced, the characters are much less interesting and apart from a few interesting moments, the film just drags on. However, it is just another version of Pulp Fiction. While it would have been wiser to changing style completely, Jackie brown showed the world that he was human, and that perhaps his success had limited his abilities. Much like Bogdanovich.
"Jackie can tell me any story that comes into her pretty little head, just so long as at the end of that story she hands me my motherfucking money."
