It's not a masterpiece, but it's a great work!

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2008)

JACKIE BROWN is, like PULP FICTION, a movie written and directed by Tarantino, or by other words a work that completely came out of his mind. If there're plenty differences between these films there're also some similarities, starting by the criminal world background, Samuel L Jackson and the character done by him. However the differences are bigger. JACKIE BROWN might not be so brightly like PULP FICTION but it is a great movie full of suspense and twists.
The characters are all well conceived and all of them sustain and give an extra strength to the plot. I appreciated especially three acting jobs: The one by Samuel L Jackson, which does one more time the role type he does best; Pam Grier, which plays the main role (JACKIE BROWN), and does a magnificent work playing a strong and intelligent woman that can deceive everyone and ends fulfilling her goal; and Robert De Niro role, LOUIS GARA, which is not a very important to this movie, but I appreciated it because I think he does a character with a different personality from what I'm used to watch in other movies. Here, he's silent and nervous and almost seems like a "poor little devil" thief
I think Tarantino did a great job one more time. It's not a masterpiece like PULP FICTION but it's a very good film.
