Quentin Tarentino's finest work yet.

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2009)

I have seen most of Quentin Tarentino's films. But of all of the ones I have seen, I thought Jackie Brown was the best. This one wasn't even written by Tarentino. his one was written by Elmore Leonard, who wrote Get Shorty, 3:10 to Yuma, and others. You can tell because this film is genius.
Jackie Brown is an incredibly smart film. Almost all of the characters are likable and there are a ton of great performances. The best are from Bridget Fonda and Robert Forster. Fonda plays Melanie, who lives with a gun runner(Samuel L. Jackson) on a beach. She also sort of lives with Louis(Robert De Niro) who has just gotten out of prison.
I'll get back to the characters in a second. The film mostly revolves around Jackie Brown(Pam Grier), who is caught with money in a bag that isn't hers. She is put in jail, and she is soon the key figure in a plot between the police and Ordell(Samuel L. Jackson).
I can't really tell you anything else about the film. The film is funny and has a lot of brains. You see some incredibly surprising things in this film. You see Robert De Niro smoking a bong and having sex. Yes, I told you it was surprising. The dialogue in the film is smart and the plot is interesting. I was engaged throughout all of this film. I have to read the book some time.
This film has it all. It's got laughs, fantastic performances, and a little bit of romance. I forgot to mention another great performance in the film. Robert Forster's performance as Max Cherry, a bailout dealer, is so cool and nice. There is a somewhat romance between him and Jackie. Almost all of the characters in the film are likable. The film has a cameo of Chris Tucker, who, to me, made the Rush hour films. I like Chirs Tucker, but I wanted to see more of his character. This is Tarentino's best, and that is saying a lot. Quentin Tarentino is a fantastic director. I wish to see more of him in the future. I saw his most recent film, Inglorious Basterds, and loved it. I haven't seen a bad Tarentino film yet. I doubt I will. Jackie Brown is without a doubt, and great, entertaining film, filled with laughs, and is Tarentino's best.
