Very long.

Rating: 2/10 (18 June 2001)

Yep, apparently no one wanted to tell Quentin Tarantino "no", so we have
an almost three hour movie that loses it's audience quickly. I wanted to
like it, but it's almost like he's daring us not to by staying in scenes
far too long and giving us uninpired performances. I loved Robert
Forster and Pam Greer, but what was DeNiro doing, and what was Bridget
Fonda doing? They were cliches of the thug and the bimbo, and I could
care less about them. To me, the magic of Tarantino is taking one
dimensional characters (see Pulp Fiction) and showing us a different
side of them that makes us love them and care about their stories. I got
that with only a few of the roles in this film. I will always see this
mans films, I think he's a major talent, but I hope he sticks with the
lesser known actors who will really come through for him and leave the
'stars' (unless it's a Travolta like comeback) to other directors.
Resevoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction will remain on my shelf, but not Jackie
Brown. Come back Tarantino! Make another film, and make it cheap fast
and out of control!
