Intelligent and Fun Movie

Rating: 8/10 (24 September 2019)

Movie do not get any better than Jackie Brown. You may not like it and think it's boring, but this is some masterpiece filmmaking right here.
The movie stars Pam Grier was a flight attendant, who gets caught laundering money and using her flight path as a means to transfer the money. The man she works for, becomes suspicious and begins to threaten her to save his own neck. So Jackie Brown concocts a scheme to perform one more of these flight money laundering schemes, and bring back her boss most of the money he needs. Things get complicated, but she comes out the winner, keeps the money, and gets her boss killed.
Now, what seems like a fairly simple plot is actually highly complex. We are introduced to a variety of characters and subplots which really may or may not impact the story overall. Each scene has so much content condensed into it that you will not get bored watching this movie, even if it's just bits and pieces here and there. This is the mastery of Tarantino. The story as a whole is just as it is. It gets boring, sure, and could be a little monotonous. But the elements that make up the pieces are so brilliant. This is a great example of the crime thriller genre.
8 Stars. A really good film, and among Tarantino's best.
