Amazon.com essential video:
The curiosity of Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown is Robert Forster's worldly wise bail bondsman Max Cherry, the most alive character in this adaptation of Elmore Leonard's Rum Punch. The Academy Awards saw it the same way, giving Forster the film's only nomination. The film is more "rum" than "punch" and will certainly disappoint those who are looking for Tarantino's trademark style. This movie is a slow, decaffeinated story of six characters glued to a half million dollars brought illegally into the country. The money belongs to Ordell (Samuel L. Jackson), a gunrunner just bright enough to control his universe and do his own dirty work. His just-paroled friend--a loose term with Ordell--Louis (Robert De Niro) is just taking up space and could be interested in the money. However, his loyalties are in question between his old partner and Ordell's doped-up girl (Bridget Fonda). Certainly Fed Ray Nicolette (Michael Keaton) wants to arrest Ordell with the illegal money. The key is the title character, a late-40s-ish flight attendant (Pam Grier) who can pull her own weight and soon has both sides believing she's working for them. The end result is rarely in doubt, and what is left is two hours of Tarantino's expert dialogue as he moves his characters around town.

Tarantino changed the race of Jackie and Ordell, a move that means little except that it allows Tarantino to heap on black culture and language, something he has a gift and passion for. He said this film is for an older audience although the language and drug use may put them off. The film is not a salute to Grier's blaxploitation films beyond the musical score. Unexpectedly the most fascinating scenes are between Grier and Forster: two neo-stars glowing in the limelight of their first major Hollywood film after decades of work. --Doug Thomas

Rating : - Deserves more Respect!
In virtually every scene of Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown (Miramax), you know you are watching a movie by the creator of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, but the fizz? the exhilaration? -- eh -- it is missing-- er -- if not altogether gone. It is like viewing Pulp Fiction through bulletproof glass. Adapting the 1992 Elmore Leonard novel Rum Punch, Tarantino spins a twisty crime yarn that, on the surface, at least, appears to have most of the qualities that gave his earlier films their wild narcotic charge. He tells the story of Jackie Brown (Pam Grier), an economically desperate 44-year-old flight attendant who has been running cash for Ordell (Samuel L. Jackson), a small-time Los Angeles arms dealer. When Jackie is cornered by a wily ATF agent (Michael Keaton), she figures that the only way out of her dilemma, out of her life, is to double-cross both parties. So she joins forces with a chivalrous bail bondsman (Robert Forster) and becomes, in essence, a criminal undercover agent, crafting a plan to steal half a million dollars from Ordell even as she nails him for the Feds.

That said, as an earlier movie of Tarantino's, it deserves more respect then I believes it has gotten. Definitely worth the watch.
