Don't mess around with Jackie Brown

Jackie Brown (1997)

This is the third film from director Quentin Tarantino and is based on a novel by Elmore Leonard, the large cast includes Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Forster. An air stewardess is caught between the law and her gun selling boss.

This is not Tarantino's best film but it is still a decent offering with plenty of his directorial signatures sprinkled through out the piece. The plot is decent with more double crossing than you can shake a stick at but is not really interesting beyond it's superficial level. What is probably the best thing about this film is the great performances from the cast, especially Grier who really carries the film well.

4/5
