Even the most avid Quentin Tarantino fans may be surprised by what the director has made out of his first full-length movie since Pulp Fiction.If u dig out deep enuff what u find is a love story with TARINTINO touch. And thats what makes him such a great director-making different movies. And TARINTINO wisely elects not to follow up Pulp Fiction with another original story inviting impossibly high expectations.
Its about a middle-aged flight attendant named Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) caught in a tight spot. Nailed by a federal lawman Michael Keaton for transporting cash and cocaine into the country from Mexico, Jackie faces jail time unless she’s willing to give up the man she’s acting as courier for. That man is Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson), a gun-runner who has already shown a reluctance to let potential witnesses remain alive. Faced with a no-win situation, Jackie decides she wants to win anyway, with the aid of bail bondsman Max Cherry (Robert Forster) in a sting where she hopes everyone but her will get nailed.
TARINTINO’s excellent casting choices pay off richly: Samual Jackson provides a mesmerizing portrait of pure evil, He is my COOLEST MAN WALKING ON EARTH...... Pam Grier, plays Jackie with breathtaking assurance, breathing grace and vulnerability into a strong character.
It’s not an instant classic, just a sharp piece of entertainment with the kind of tightly-structured script you wish Tarantino could teach to other writers.
