JACKIE BROWN
I first saw this movie when it was first released and I hated it. I thought it was boring. now after 14 years I decided to try it again...
The movie is about a flight attendant named Jackie Brown. She gets caught up in a huge arms deal and decides to risk everything to help herself other than anyone else.
The movie is quite slow going. There is not a great deal of action in it, but the character building is brilliant. A lot of time is spent getting to know the characters and dialogue. That is one thing I love about Quentin Tarantino﻿s movies. The man really knows how to build a character. The dialogue in all of his movies is what makes him stand out from everyone else. This is one of the reasons why he is one of the best.
Another thing that is really good with this movie and a lot of Tarantinos films is the soundtrack. I read that he bases his films around the soundtracks, and this has some classic songs throughout.
Even though there is not a lot of action, you can't help be get drawn into the story and trying to guess what Jackies next movie is. All the way through the film I was trying to guess what she was doing and who she was actually helping. It is a good film to keep you thinking.
The casting was fantastic. Every single actor did a great job in this movie and they all deserve some credit. Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Robert DeNiro, Bridget Fonda & Michael Keaton star in this movie. It was also a nice surprise to see a young Chris Tucker and also Sid Haig appear too.
The main thing I noticed from this film compared to most of Tarantinos others was the lack of violence. There were not many scenes where the violence was high. This is a very subtle film but runs very smoothly and very enjoyable.
I will give this film 7 out of 10.
