A very good movie

I already saw this movie a couple of times, in fact, I even saw it in the movie theater when it was released, but since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. Anyway, in my opinion, while the more recent work from Tarantino tends to be rather overrated in my opinion, it is definitely the most underrated movie directed by Tarantino (‘The Hateful Eight’ might be even more underrated though). Obviously, after the massive success of 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction', the expectations were sky high and it was honestly asking a little bit too much to expect from Tarantino to deliver something that was that good or even better. So, I have to admit that it was a slight step down from his previous movies but just a little one, at least, that's my opinion. Indeed, I personally really enjoyed the damned thing. First of all, there was a great cast involved and this movie was also including one of the last great performances by Robert de Niro, the story was really entertaining and I just had a really good time watching this. Furthermore, it was the first movie made by Tarantino with a female main character and I thought he really nailed it as Jackie Brown was just really badass. In my opinion, Jackie Brown felt really genuine, you had the feeling that she was actually coming from our world, with some sh*t to deal with just like the rest of us and I really cared about her, which is something I can't really say about The Bride. Anyway, I think it is actually a very entertaining flick and it definitely doesn't get enough credit.
