Doesn't feel like Tarantino.

Rating: Null/10 (16 February 2016)

Jackie Brown is a very good film. I enjoyed most of it. The performances and story were also great. But despite all that, this film still has a few flaws. And the biggest one is that it doesn't feel like it has that Quentin Tarantino magic. Tarantino is one of the best film makers out there, and its because of his unique style that most directors don't have. His over the top gore scenes and his long and tense scenes filled with sharp dialogue are what Jackie Brown is missing. Its why I didn't gave it a nine and its why its not one of Tarantino's better films. Also it seemed like it needed to be a bit shorter. There are a few story elements that didn't work and had the chance to do something else with it but didn't. And Samuel L. Jackson's performance seemed a little too much and unnecessary, even for him. But I still have to say that the music was really good as usual in Tarantino films.
