TARANTINO'S TRUE MASTERPIECE & ROBERT FORSTER IS OUTSTANDING!!!

Rating: 10/10 (22 August 2019)

Jackie Brown is an absolutely BRILLIANT Crime Thriller, Tarantino created a gripping, intelligent, exciting, funny & totally entertaining piece of pulp cinema & my personal favourite Tarantino film, This crime Thriller is right up there with his other classic films "Reservoir dogs" & "Pulp fiction" the 90's were the best for Tarantino's genius.
The pairing of B-movie & low rent films of the past legends Pam Grier & Robert Forster is phenomenal, it's PERFECT casting so thank you mr. Tarantino for bringing back two of the underrated greats of past cinema, the whole movie relies on the romantic chemistry between "Grier & Forster" & it's completely perfect.
Just the nice scenes of these two veteran actors together sitting & having Coffee & chatting are such comforting scenes, the way Max looks at Jackie when he's at her apartment & she puts on some music, beautiful touching & natural character moments, Tarantino is a genius at this, just letting you hang out with the characters & become comfortable with them like you would with real friends, Tarantino gave us a real gift with JACKIE BROWN!!!!
Jackie Brown is a character piece as well as his true masterpiece, Tarantino has put interesting characters on screen & gets the viewer to hang out with them & it becomes a comfort seeing these great characters again each time you watch it & that's incredible.
From the amazing opening scene with the Awesome song playing "Accross 110th street" it's one of the Coolest films ever made, easily the best Tarantino film in my opinion!!!
Also the look & cinematography is gorgeous this is superb film making at it's best!!!!
The dark humour is hilarious & the dialogue is witty,smart,humorous & great.
Samuel l Jackson is fantastic & gives one of his best performances!!!
Robert Forster is truly Mesmerising on screen, easily one of the greatest performances in cinema history!!!
Jackie Brown has become my favourite Tarantino movie & that's mainly due to the incredible performance from "ROBERT FORSTER" & this movie introduced me to him & made me a fan of his & got me searching out his back catalogue of his movie career, Forster has such a great screen presence as an actor,
He is rugged world weary & full of heart but
he's got a sadness in his eyes & a rugged natural Coolness, he puts a depth into his characters, a seriousness that makes him so interesting to watch, he's truly one of the best actors in the history of Cinema in my opinion!!!
Max Cherry is one of my favourite movie characters ever, Max is the type of world weary-seen it all & survived it all kind of guy you would want as a friend, he's wise & smart & a good man.
Forster always gives a solid performance even if he has a small role in a Little B-movie, there's a richness to the veteran actor on screen that can't be matched!!!
Forster is the kind of blue collar "working actor" who turns up in lots of movie's, mainly B-movies & low rent Thrillers but is always very good no matter what small role he may have had, he's like the great "Tom Atkins" in that respect or even the excellent "Robert Davi" as each guy is a good solid character actor on screen & brings their own unique acting style & screen presence & that's why these guys have huge "cult following" later in their careers, the "cult status" is for cool dudes like these & "Robert forster" is easily one of the best out there!!!
"Brown" is not a blood-soaked ultra violent film like "Fiction" or "dogs" it's a slower paced character driven drama-thriller with a beautiful heartwarming centre, that centre is the two ageing & lonely unlikely kind of couple in "Jackie Brown" & "Max Cherry", it's the heart of this crime caper.
Jackie Brown has definitely become a favourite of mine now (It's entered my all time top 20 films list) "Brown" grew on me the most as i used to like it & always loved pam & forster in it but i used to think this was Tarantino's most boring film, but hey i was only a teen then so i couldn't understand the richness of the characters & the excellent story telling until i was older & now it's my favourite of his movies!!!
I rediscovered the genius of "Jackie Brown" & fell in love with it.
The heart of this gripping crime Thriller is the sweet unsaid love story of Jackie Brown & Max Cherry, it unfolds beautifully & never fully blossoms but it's there.
The cast & performances are truly fantastic here in Jackie Brown, i mean we have the legendary Pam Grier, Robert De niro, Samuel l Jackson, Bridget Fonder, Michael Keaton & Robert forster!!!
This is a standout ensemble cast & Pam & forster give the greatest performances of both their careers!!!
Max Cherry (Forster) is my favourite character from the universe of Tarantino, i think "roberts" performance is one of the greatest in cinema history & he got a nomination!!!
I'm thankful for "Tarantino" introducing Robert forster & Pam Grier to me with this film, this film also resurrected Forsters career & got him the attention he deserves as a respected veteran actor.
Pam Grier is TRULY outstanding as "Jackie Brown" she gives the film a higher feel of quality & her BRILLIANT performance is mesmerising, she made an incredible lead along with "Forster" & it's the best I've ever seen her.
The music is beautiful throughout & the scenes are crafted with a special song thats specific to that moment, it's Tarantino's genius again at work.
Jacke Brown is a fantastic movie & is as good as pulp fiction & reservoir dogs & that's how great a filmmaker Tarantino is!!!
Tarantino is one of the greatest directors of all time.
Reservoir dogs 10/10
Pulp fiction 10/10
Jackie Brown 10/10
His 90's films are still the best, big Nostalgia for Tarantino & the 90s.
So sad to hear about the passing of one of my favourite actors ever "Robert Forster" R.I.P to one of the greats, an actor so full of passion & heart, the type of "Real" working man actor we don't see anymore, i will continue to see him everytime i watch his OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE as Max Cherry in "Jackie Brown"
