Masterpiece

Rating: Null/10 (1 November 2002)

Tarentino is a brilliant director and it is displayed in Jackie Brown. The tumultuous blacksploitation period of the 70's was the obvious precursor here. Pam Grier the 70's blacksploitation Queen gives an over the top performance as a middle aged air line stewardess and Samuel l Jackson steels the show as the seedy antagonist. The great thing about Jackie Brown is that Tarentino is in no rush at all. This film is effectively languid. Jackie Brown is not as ostentation as Resevoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction but it does prove that Tarentino has diversity. Bring on Kill Bill.
