a beautiful but clever girl

First Luis (Robert de Niro) shows us how he can play not as usual
as a drug addict! Then I may not tell the beautiful plot of Quentin Tarentino but I can say at least the following. Jacky Brown is an air hotess in the worst mexican company in Los Angeles. She is very beautiful. The F.B.I. after the revelations of a bad guy ( Baumont Livingston)is waiting for her in the airport. One of them find $10,000, what is forbiden by the custom, and last but not the least a little bag of cocaine! She works for a very bad man: "Ordel" whose the job is to sell narcotics and arms. How can she can do with a friend (Max Sherry) to rob $ 1,000.000 and get be free? That is the problem!

The true Tarantino masterpiece; delivered deftly

Who could predict that Quentin Tarantino would shrink the filmmaking skills he displayed in "Pulp Fiction" - arguably the most influential film of the 1990's - by releasing the decaffinated masterpiece "Jackie Brown"? This is simply his best film yet. Sure, Q-Heads were expecting another wild "Pulp" ride, but Tarantino is too savvy to repeat himself. Set in L.A. in 1995, the eternally sexy Pam Grier stars in the title role; a struggling, middle-age flight attendant who earns extra income as a cash courier for Ordell Robbie, a loathsome gun dealer (portrayed with usual excellence by Samuel L. Jackson). Michael Keaton - in an unusually dry but great performance - is an ATF agent who intercepts one of Jackie's deliveries and threatens her with prison if she doesn't agree to help catch Ordell in action. Reluctantly serving as an open ear for Jackie's fears is Robert Forster as Max Cherry, her bail bondsman. Meanwhile, Ordell is coordinating one last transaction with his newly paroled partner, Louis Gara, played with stone-faced reticence by Robert De Niro. Unknown to Ordell, his last big deal is the one Jackie is banking on to help catch him, get herself out of trouble, and fatten her wallet with half-a-million dollars in the process.This is clearly Tarantino's most realized film, and it took guts for him to adapt an Elmore Leonard crime novel (Leonard has cited "Jackie Brown" as his favorite film adaptation). After all, like Scorsese, crime is his cinematic canvas. The film doesn't serve solely as another crime epic from Tarantino, but it doubles as his valentine to blaxploitation movies. It's so evident in the slow, 70's style pacing, obviously Tarantino's favorite era of filmmaking - once you take away the cell phones & pagers the settings, cars, music, and wardrobe smack of the 70's completely. Casting blaxploitation queen Pam Grier was an obvious hint, as well as the fact that half the music in the film was lifted directly from Pam Grier's 1973 classic "Coffy" (Tarantino also used blaxploitation regular Sig Haig in a cameo as Jackie's judge). Like Scorsese's crime films, as well as in "Pulp Fiction", themes of redemption are abound. However, in this film there is a heavy regard towards aging. Jackie's fears throughout the film center heavily on adversities she's overcome that would be nullified if she doesn't pull herself out of this mess alive. A question she asks early on in the film - "How do you feel about getting old?" - seems to be running over in her mind the entire time.I've saved the best part for last. The best element of this film has got to be the performance of Robert Forster. He, without a doubt(!), steals the film as the world-weary Max Cherry. Max knows all too well of life's trappings & pitfalls, but still tries to get ahead when possible, never forsaking the straight & narrow. Only Burt Reynolds' performance in "Boogie Nights" could rival Forster's for best performance of 1997. Probably the best scene in the film is the morning coffee table scene where Max & Jackie share their feelings on growing old. It is a slow scene, played out to wonderfully lingering effect by Tarantino and I cherish his desire to focus on this couple every time I see it. Not to spotlight Forster alone, the entire cast is wonderful. This may be Jackson's most malevolent character ever, and De Niro never seems to bore us despite him looking comatose throughout the entire film. Bridget Fonda is quite sexy as Ordell's dense, pot-smoking surfer girl, and the brief appearance of Chris Tucker brings uncomfortable laughter. The soundtrack, Tarantino's usual stew of funk, country, R&B and surf music, is his best ever - a complex mix of styles.
Maybe people were turned off by this film because of its lack of visceral impulses. An "art-house popcorn" movie it ain't! This is a grown-up movie, for ADULTS. The 2 1/2 hour length may test some viewers, particularly given it's so dialogue driven while you're expecting ear-slicing, adrenaline-shooting, finger-chopping fun. But, if you're willing to give Tarantino your due patience and accept his proposed journey, you'll be rewarded with a great story and masterful performances. Tarantino's best film.

A solid, character driven movie

When we insert our Quentin Tarantino movie into the machine, we expect to be bombarded with action, and perhaps sex. If this is what you're looking for, you may walk away disappointed. While this film does not provide a gun shot or beating around every corner, or breasts every few scenes, it does provide us with an intricate look inside a half dozen interesting characters. Don't get me wrong, it packs a mean punch compared to the average flick, just perhaps more mature and talkative compared to the average QT thriller. I personally commend Quentin for swaying off his action crammed image and simply telling an interesting story with a few sporadic gun shots here and there. Unless you can't stay seated without action in almost every scene, I would recommend this flick be seen.

slow moving but still tarintino enough for a fan (just)

far to slow, I'm a huge tarantino fan but this tested me, it was like sitting for 2 hours waiting for the 10 minutes at the end. If samuel wasn't in it I think it would have got stopped before the end.

Quentin Tarantino & Elmore Leonard, a Great Combination

I personally think Quentin Tarantino's third feature film was under-rated. Most people seem to think of it as his weakest film to date but I disagree. I definitely wouldn't go so far as to say it's his best; it's got nothing on 'Pulp Fiction' but it's still a great movie in it's own ways. I found myself somewhat let down after watching it the first time because I originally expected another 'Pulp Fiction', which it wasn't intended to be. It's an adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel 'Rum Punch' (a pretty faithful adaptation) and a bit of an homage to the blaxploitation movies of the 70's. The movie follows the title character, Jackie Brown (played by 70's blaxploitation icon Pam Grier), a middle-aged flight attendant who runs money to/from Mexico for gun runner Ordell Robbie (played by Samuel L. Jackson, super-cool as always). After Jackie's caught bringing $50 grand and a bag of cocaine into the country, she finds herself making a deal with ATF agent Ray Nicolette (a twitchy, entertaining Michael Keaton) and trying to scam both Ordell and the ATF while walking away with a half-million dollar payload.The film continues to display Tarantino's strengths as a filmmaker. He once again displays a knack for perfect casting. Grier gives a strong performance as the down-on-her-luck Jackie who's ready to risk everything to escape her menial life. Robert Forster (another icon from 70's and 80's B-movies) puts in a great supporting performance as bail bondsman Max Cherry, Jackie's only real accomplice. Oddly enough, one of my favorite performances in the film was Robert De Niro as Ordell's new partner, ex-con Louis Gara. He's only a supporting member and doesn't really even much dialogue or purpose until the final act but he's fun to watch. Louis is such a subdued person, not the type of role I'm used to seeing De Niro in. Louis's character is all in his body language and it's awesome to see De Niro playing such an awkward person. Rounding out the primary cast is Bridget Fonda as Ordell's stoned surfer girl Melanie, providing a small but somewhat vital role.In addition to his ability to find the perfect actor/actress for each role, Tarantino once again shows he knows how to create a film's atmosphere with a great soundtrack. The music is practically it's own character in the film, using 70's soul and R&B to add to the film's flavor. With tracks by Bobby Womack, the Grass Roots, and the Brothers Johnson, this film has one of my favorite soundtracks in recent years.The movie runs a bit long (roughly 2.5 hours) but it generally doesn't drag. There are a couple points where you start to feel the long running time wearing on you, but it usually passes as the plot once again grabs you with another interesting turn. The story can be a bit complex as the characters plot, double, and triple-cross each other but it leaves you satisfied by the end (though, I admit, I thought the climax was a bit weak). The movie combines a cool crime story from Elmore Leonard with the cinema stylings of Quentin Tarantino. While it does have a couple weaknesses, it's still a great follow-up to 'Pulp Fiction' and in my opinion shows that Tarantino is one our strongest modern filmmakers.

Enjoyable, but not dynamite

Tarantino slows down his pace too much on this own; after the mercurial brilliance of his first two films, it's almost as if he tried very hard to create an antithesis to the Tarantino style. The dialogue is excellent in spots, and the actors time everything just right, but there's never that spark of genius that propelled "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs." The picture starts well but the tension never builds and the story never explodes like it should. It's still watchable, and great in spots, but it's not the movie that "Pulp Fiction" was. Highlight: Excellent soundtrack.

Rather Good if Not Great

This deserved to win best picture at he oscars. It was an interesting movie and i couldnt fault it at all. Its a drugs movie, i usually hate gangster flicks but this one is great. If you like Pam Grier or Samuel L Jackson you will like this.9/10If you like this try:CoffyShaft

Tarantino sees off the backlash

Quentin Tarantino is clearly finding it difficult to follow the phenomenal success of "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction", which made him the hottest writer-director of his generation. In the six years since then this is the only time that he has returned to the directors chair. "Jackie Brown" - his "difficult third film" - seems to be his response to criticism of his first two films that he could only make movies about other movies, but not real life. He cleverly anticipates the backlash by adapting a tightly plotted, character driven Elmore Leonard novel, still set in his familiar world of LA low-lives, but keeping to a minimum his trademark comic-book violence and pop-culture references, while emphasising the novels more mature themes - such as ageing and the feeling of time running out for the middle-aged characters. The result is a slick, interesting, if slightly draggy thriller, which ultimately lacks the freshness and audaciousness of those earlier films.Tarantino still has his maverick streak though, as displayed in his trusting of Pam Grier to carry the entire movie. The casting of a middle-aged black actress with no box-office clout in the lead role can't have been easy in an industry notorious for it's scant regard for actresses after they reach 30. You can bet that the studios would have at least insisted on the safety of a Sharon Stone or a Demi Moore. But Tarantino, as he did when casting Travolta, stuck to his gut-instinct, and once again it proved an inspired choice. Grier, bringing with her the memories of her 70's blackploitation movies, gives a convincingly tough, wise and sympathetic performance.Actors love to work with Tarantino because the roles he gives them will be invariably jucier than usual. That is once again the case here, although the casting isn't quite as inspired as it was in "Dogs" or "Pulp" (or "True Romance"). Samuel L. Jackson is reliably good - if hardly stretched - as an unscrupulous hustler who is not as smart as he thinks he is, and Bridget Fonda has fun as his conniving beach babe girlfriend. Robert Forster jumps at the chance to play a role with depth after years in made-for-tv hell. Robert De Niro though, despite providing some amusing moments, is disappointingly wasted as Jackson's dim-witted partner.At times this feels like just another thriller, but every now and then Tarantino reminds you what all the fuss was about. Jackson's brutal (off-screen) dispatching of Chris Tucker in the boot of a car, as the camera slowly cranes up into the sky, is masterfully conceived and a scene, which is subtly built up to, involving a teasing Fonda and a p*****-off De Niro is as unexpected and as shocking as anything Tarantino has done before. By refusing to make a Pulp Fiction 2, Tarantino may have missed out on some easy money, but this film has enough to suggest that he will be more than just a flash in the pan.

Tarantino's Casablanca

Time will prove this movie a masterpiece. "Jackie Brown" has pacing, intelligence, laughs, atmosphere, and thrills -- none the least of which are in the utterly honest and often hilarious dialogue -- but mostly it has heart.Tarantino has created a love story for the 1990s and a song for the ages. Max Cherry and Jackie Brown are easily the hottest middle-aged mismatched couple in movie history, and just as sweet as a child's first crush. I saw the film for the first time last night, and I honestly miss the pair of them already. I intend to buy the DVD so I can savor them and their clever, soulful, poignant adventure, again and again and again.

Gets better and better every time I watch it.

Pulp Fiction is surely one of the top ten most significant and influential movies ever made, but Jackie Brown is my favorite. It has great writing, great directing, and great characters. It goes without saying that the acting is first rate, look who's in the movie. Unlike Pulp Fiction, which loses its edge the more I see it, this movie gets better. It's the interaction between the characters I love the most, and which never loses its flavor.

I finally read the book (about the fifth Leonard book I've read, and in my opinion his worse, but I admit I could be biased.) But reading the book and watching the movie is like a case study on great story telling. Tarantino is more than just a flashy director and clever writer, mixing dark humor with violence and vulgar langauge, he truly understands *story.* Which most his imitators and peers do not. He cuts out all the BS from the book (of which there is plenty, such as pointless subplots, bogus sounding street talk, etc.), and keeps all the best parts. But even so if that's all he'd done, it still would have been a weak movie. He totally upgrades the dialogue to a new level, keeping only the few decently written dialogue scenes from the book (such as Max and Jackie's conversation the morning after she's freed from jail) and expands the characters and their interaction with each other and tightens the plot considerably. (Not to mention, heightening the suspense and tension.)

the critics said the movie was too long and there wasn't enough action. But let's face it, critics in general are jaded and lazy moviegoers. If any other director had done the movie, they would have been either blasted or resoundingly praised for so blatantly imitating Tarantino, but knowing Tarantino directed the movie, they say it's nothing at all like his other movies and none of his fans are going to like this one. How could he have won? Was he suppose to do a remake of pulp Fiction? I thought it was the perfect follow up. (And of course we all know had the movies been released in the opposite order, how the critics would have been rating each movie ...)

Anyway, to those critics who say the movie's too long and boring, then let every movie be this long and boring, and please spare us a world where Titanic is regarded as a better movie, with its thin story and inept dialogue and bloated budget. (You say it's not fair comparing the two movies, I say it is. A story is a story, and Jackie Brown is as much a story of doomed romance as Titanic is, but the simple fact is, Jackie Brown is a way better movie, and what honors did it win besides Robert Forster's nomination, who was only one of many great performances in the movie, and personally I think the least deserving of a nomination? Meanwhile the Titantic got virtually unanimous praise and won that year's Best Picture. What gives?) This is a movie for those who want to be slowly and surely swallowed whole by the story, the characters, and a great filmmaker. And to those who say Tarantino is some kind of wannabe Elmore Leonard of cinema, then read the book and watch the movie, and honestly tell me the book has more to offer. It doesn't. Tarantino truly knows how to bring the characters and story to life. Leonard could only dream of being so talented.

Black Sheep of the Tarantino Herd

Small-time gangster Ordell (Jackson) runs guns. He also has the nasty habit of using a legit bail bondsman (Forster) to haul any captured associates out of prison and kill them before they can talk. When hostess Jackie Brown (Grier) is arrested for smuggling Ordell's money into the US, she persuades Ordell to let use her to con the feds and smuggle his entire fortune under their noses, while deceiving the police into thinking she is helping them nail Ordell. But who's is Jackie Brown really on? After his "masterpiece" Pulp Fiction, a bloated film that wasn't really about anything, Tarantino adapts an Elmore Leonard novel. The slick double-crossing and elegant narrative is pure Leonard, but the dialogue and humor remain vintage Tarantino, and the union works wonders. After an opening shot that bodes ill by shamelessly copying "The Graduate", Tarantino plays things subtly with a laid-back and elegant direction, comprised mostly of long shots and steady-cam camera-work (thank you longtime Del Toro collaborator Guillermo Navarro), allowing us to focus on the actors. Robert Forster received most of the praise at the time of release for underacting to a tee, but if any turns are to deserve particular mention, praise should go to Samuel L. Jackson's larger than life Ordell and Robert De Niro's half-wit convict Louis. In truth, this is a group effort, and everybody delivers, from Pam Grier to Michael Keaton (in a role he reprized a year later in "Out of Sight", also adapted from a Leonard novel).Jackie Brown was not fully appreciated when it came out ten years ago, and Tarantino went down the road of excess with the pointless Kill Bill duo, before finding himself again with the playful Deathproof. This might be less showy and hard-hitting than Reservoir Dogs, but it remains his most sensitive film to date. One can only hope he will explore such territory again soon.

Perhaps a better title would have been "The Wanderer"

Characterisations can make or break a film. There are some fine characterisations in the film - Particularly (and predictably) Samuel Jackson's character.However, the kookiness/hipness within this movie looks forced and false - Tarantino's success consists of essentially constructing a plotline from a number of different films, tighten, sharpen then release.Unfortunately Jackie Brown has a lack of taughtness and - I hate to say it - is downright boring in places with nothing worthwhile or interesting going on. The majority of the film is very similar to De Niro's character, drugged-out, slowed down and self absorbed.The twenty or so minutes when the sting finally starts to go down is definitely worth watching, with fine performances all round. (With the exception of Zeus)It's rare to see a long film and not be aware of the passing of time - this is no exception.Needs to try harder (Or perhaps not so much)Dan

An amazingly cool film.

First of all I am one big Tarantino fan always have been. Most people have criticized this movie as being his worst movie. That couldn't be further from the truth. Quentin takes Elmore Leonars novel Rum Punch and turns it into an amazingly cool film. Pam Grier is as foxy as she was in Foxy Brown and Samuel L. Jackson is a really good bad ass. Quentin gives this story is own spin with a great adaptation of the book and outstanding direction. Robert Forster gives a great performance as a bail bonds agent named Max Cherry. His performance actually surprised me considering he wasn't in much before this. The best actor in this film is by far Samuel L. Jackson, his character Ordell is perfect for him. I might even say that he is better in this than in Pulp Fiction. I think this movie is a great, foxy, cool mystery that deserves much more attention then it has received. I suggest this movie to all you Tarantino fans out there.

Quality

Product was not 100% in good condition. There were a few fuzzy scenes in the movie. Also there is nonremovable scuff/scratch mark in the inner circle of DVD on the back.

more genius from Tarantino

SPOILERS Let's be honest for a second here. Out of everyone in Hollywood today, there must be few who are living the dream as much as Quentin Tarantino. With a life drenched in cinema, Tarantino is the king of "cool" cinema. Creating films which are full of pop culture references, always featuring an awe inspiring soundtrack and with magnificent characters, Tarantino has seemingly not put a foot wrong since 1992's perfect "Reservoir Dogs". With both Dogs and the more successful "Pulp Fiction" (1994) under his belt, 1997's "Jackie Brown" was another rung on the Tarantino ladder as he created a film containing humour, some memorable lines and an amazing career reemergence by Pam Grier.Jackie Brown (Grier) is a flight attendant for one of the down-market airlines. Secretly running money into the country for Ordell Robbie (Samuel L Jackson), things suddenly seem to go wrong for her when she is arrested by Ray Nicolette (Michael Keaton) of the police. Now with the help of bail organiser Max Cherry (Robert Forster), Jackie Brown is out for herself.It's an acceptable fact in modern cinema that if Quentin Tarantino is involved with a film, it's going to be stylish. Whether he's written the film, directed it, or simply put his name to it, the film is going to be stylish. "Jackie Brown" is without a doubt, no exception.From Pam Grier's first appearance, through to her final scene, the film flows with a soundtrack to orgasm over. With a distinctive soul feel, it's hard not to be dragged into the adventures of Jackie Brown.The casting also adds to the persona of the film. Samuel L Jackson as gun merchant Ordell is perhaps not as good as in "Pulp Fiction" but he's not far off. Robert De Niro as well, looking remarkably old and worn is brilliant as the stoned bank robber friend of Ordell who is just out of jail. Then, add to the list Keaton, Forster, Bridget Fonda, Chris Tucker and the amazing Grier, and you are looking at an outstanding lineup.Tarantino also has an amazing knack for unique camera angles and sound techniques. In "Reservoir Dogs" he had Michael Madsen's Mr Blonde walk between two locations whilst music was only audible in one of the two. Copying the technique in "Jackie Brown" one scene is amazing where the story rotates between cars, all playing different songs. The way it is done is nothing short than genius. Then with camera angles he again replicates an idea from Dogs by having a camera filming from an open car trunk. Looking up at characters from the tight angle, the scene always looks strangely intriguing, almost like your secretly observing on a private conversation. Tarantino introduces us to his views on picture and sound quality, and you begin to realise just how clever the man truly is.Everyone knows what they like to see in cinema. Whether it's a comedy starring a rubber faced comedian, or a serious drama starring an old English thespian, choice is all around. Personally though, whatever the mood, the one thing you can always rely on is that few films will be as stylish as a Quentin Tarantino feature. "Jackie Brown" might not be quite as amazing as "Reservoir Dogs" or "Pulp Fiction" but it is still one of the best films you will ever see.

Quintin Has Done It Again.

After seeing Pulp Fiction. I thought there couldn't another cool film until I saw Jackie Brown. What Pam Grier did for this film is what John Travolta did for Pulp Fiction. Samuel L. Jackson is great as a wannabe gangster who has to learn the hard way that crime doesn't pay.

Quentin Tarantino + Elmore Leonard= Quality

Jackie Brown (Quentin Tarantino's third movie) is a movie that grows on you. I tried to watch this for the first time expecting another wildly violent Tarantino flick. After an hour, I was bored. Well, I gave it a second chance and a few viewings later, I've come to a conclusion: I love this movie.The plot is based on an Elmore Leonard novel called Rum Punch. The plot is way too complicated to explain here in full detail. Basically it is about an aging bailbondsman (Robert Forster) bored with his dead end job who helps smuggler Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) frame her boss and run off with his money. After she is arrested, her boss, Ordell Robbie, (an arms dealer played by Samuel L. Jackson) bails her out with the intention of using her for one last job and then killing her. Jackie Brown, however, has other plans. There are also a bunch of interesting subplots involving the cops (Micheal Keaton in particular) and Ordell's not-too-bright accomplices,(Rovert DeNiro and Bridget Fonda) who plan to keep the money for themselves and kill Ordell. The excellent plot is combined with Tarantino's trendy dialogue to help develop the great cast of characters. The movie moves along at a slow pace, so you have to be patient when watching it. If you are expecting a "typical" QT flick, you will hate it. It does not use any gratuitous violence (there is some violence, but it is realistically portrayed) or weird gimmicks such as Japanese anime. The plot focuses on just one character, who is not only likable but a good person, not a murderer like in Dogs or Fiction. The performances were excellent, Pam Grier convinced me as Jackie Brown and Sam Jackson is a great villain. There was also a great supporting cast. The soundtrack was awesome too, its a lot of 70s soul/funk...not a genre I'm familiar with, since I'm an 80s baby, but I loved it in the context of the movie. This is the most underrated of Tarantino's movies and my favorite.

Cool Film. "Gotta Absolutely Gotta Kill Every Motherf---er In This Town." Crisp Dialogue & Hitchcockian Story.

Pam Grier, star of blaxploitaition movies such as "Foxy Brown," leads an all-star cast in this Hitchcockian story full of crisp, fresh & witty dialogue and twists and turns. Unfortunately, the movie moved a little slow for me, though I've seen "Kill Bill" & loved it. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars. Better than "Scarface." That movie was a piece of crap. Rated R, but should've been PG-13.

Excellent, not disappointing at all

Director Quentin Tarantino started his film career with the great Reservoir Dogs, then the following film he made was the excellent Pulp Fiction, then he made Jackie Brown. Some people were disappointed with this because they were expecting this to be the best movie ever made. This isn't the best movie ever made, but it still is excellent.The qualities that make a Tarantino movie are an interesting story line, style, complex characters, witty dialog, and action. This doesn't have as much action as his other movies, but it still keeps you interested the whole way through.This isn't as raw or violent as Reservoir Dogs, as flashy or showy as Pulp Fiction, or as unique as Kill Bill, but it still has a unique style.The story follows a stewardess who is smuggling money for an arms dealer. Quickly, she is wanted by the FBI and the arms dealer at the same time. There are several other things that take place, eventually making the whole plan start to back fire. This is shown mainly in chronological order, but there is one scene that jumps back a little ways from the current event.This is a great movie, for those of you who watch Tarantino movies just to watch people get shot or tortured, you might not enjoy this as much. The running time is really long at 2 1/2 hours, but it does have plenty of entertainment values that keep this movie from ever becoming boring. The music is great, it's a good collection of music from the '70's. The dialog is clever and often humorous, allowing the audience to sort of hang out with the characters and get to know them.This is worth watching, I would recommend this at all costs. This is for anyone who likes Tarantino, or anyone who wants to see a great, stylish movie.

Elmore Leonard + Quentin Tarantino = a great movie

Jackie Brown...what can I say? Excellent. I loved it. Elmore Leonard is the BEST crime writer ever, and Quentin Tarantino is the best crime director ever...so, they are such a great match. I won't give anything away, but the final scene at the mall had me on the edge of my seat. The music is perfect for the climax. I love Elmore Leonard, and Jackie Brown is one of the best Leonard movie adaptations I've seen. Some other good Elmore Leonard book adaptations: Stick, Out of Sight, Get Shorty. Another plus is that I've heard that Tarantino has bought the rights to 4 more of Elmore Leonards books: one, a western, called Forty Lashes Less One; and three crime novels, Bandits, Killshot, and Freaky Deaky. I can't wait until that happens! Jackie Brown is no Pulp Fiction, so Fiction fans may be dissapointed, but if you watch with an open mind, and you are a crime movie fan, you'll love Jackie Brown.
