Tarantino at the top of his game!

When I saw this film for the first time on DVD about 2 years ago, I absolutely loved it! After a rewatch, I still really enjoyed it but not quite as much as I did before. Jackie Brown is a more complex, tense but not cooler film than Pulp Fiction. There are a lot of people who say that Quentin Tarantino's career went downfall after this film. However, I don't necessarily think that's true. Jackie Brown didn't become as much of a success regarding money as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.


Pam Grier was amazing as Jackie Brown! I was unsure whether I'd like Jackie Brown's character in this film for some reason but I really got into it. Pam made Jackie seem irresistible for a mid 40-year-old and also seems like a bit of a bitch who takes advantage of the men around her so she can have all the money to herself. Samuel L. Jackson is starting to be a great actor in Quentin Tarantino films. He was obviously phenomenal in Pulp Fiction but his performance in this film wasn't that far off from being as good as Jules. I love seeing Jackson play characters who swear a lot and have that cold personality because he makes me laugh. Marc Forster was awesome in this film too as Max Cherry. He was nominated for an Academy Award in this film for Best Supporting Actor. Bridget Fonda was awesome in this film too. She was a real slut because of her pure beauty which is what I liked the most about the character. Robert De Niro was awesome too as Louis but I don't think Robert De Niro exactly matches in a Quentin Tarantino film.


Quentin Tarantino's work is very similar yet very different in comparison to Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs because some of the characters are slightly similar but the plot is totally different even though it is the same genre. One main thing that I have learned about Quentin Tarantino and that is that you know a film by Tarantino when you see one. I think Tarantino thought that this film was a failure because of it not earning as much money as his first two films did which lead to the large success that were Kill Bill: Volumes 1+2.


Overall, Jackie Brown is another very enjoyable Quentin Tarantino film that is cool in its own way like the other Tarantino films are.

9/10
