“What the fuck happened to you, man? Your ass used to be beautiful.” Whenever great Robert De Niro performances are discussed, his work in Jackie Brown rarely comes up. It’s understandable: his role is a supporting turn; this relatively low-key, leisurely paced character study about aging and ambition didn’t generate the kind of buzz and box office expected from a Quentin Tarantino film after Pulp Fiction (1994); and there are, arguably, four other equally great performances in the film (by Pam Grier, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, and QT axiom Samuel L. Jackson). But I’ve rarely seen De Niro disappear into a role as thoroughly as he does here, all the more remarkable given the fact that he was at the…

100 Making Jackie Brown after the pop-culture lexicon of Pulp Fiction is one of Tarantino’s finest decisions. Giving a platform to the screen icons he loved growing up: Pam Grier, Robert Forester, De Niro etc. A selection of people caught up in a life of crime, and barely having any energy to scramble their way out of it. Locations comprised of dive bars and malls and quiet apartments filled with weed smoke. Jackie Brown is by turns romantic and tired and wistful. It celebrates simple pleasures, but the movie is by no means a broad stylistic pastiche. To me, it captures the chase towards something more, whatever that may be. Jackie Brown may initially sell itself as hardened and meticulous,…

“I’m 56 years old. I can’t blame anybody for anything I do.” Just the most tired resigned caper movie possible. So much loving care in how it is happy to just sit and watch all those people it colects along the way. There’s very few bits on movies that get to me quite like when the camera goes out of focus on Forster when he goes back to cry in the end.

I like how imperfect these people are. Max Cherry isn’t a badass gangster in a black and white suit; he’s a schlub with thinning hair. Jackie Brown isn’t a master criminal; before her big confrontation with a gun runner she practices her tough guy quick draw. Louis Gara forgets where he parked his car at the mall in the middle of a robbery. They’re just people! I think some of Tarantino’s later movies, great as they are, could use a little more of that humanness. I remember some people were disappointed that Jackie Brown wasn’t as showy or as complex as Pulp Fiction when it came out, but even if Tarantino’s choices aren’t quite as flashy here, they’re absolutely perfect.…

Strongly Tarantino’s worst. So glad I’m done with this dickhead’s filmography; I’m not dignifying him with a ranked list. “Jackie Brown” isn’t even thematically or substantially rotten like “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” is, it just sucks on a script, character, and acting level. Purely dull dialogue driven moments fill a bloated runtime that could’ve been a short film without losing literally anything. Don’t bother. It’s a shame that a high-profile film about a black woman driven by her success and intelligence had to be made by this absolute clown and written with the intensity and complexity of a smudged blot of ink.

really fun movie. this and death proof feel very similar in the way that they are almost the most forgettable of the tarantino movies. they are both so fun and easy to love, but not talked about nearly as much. reservoir dogs is amazing and was a great start, and then he moved on to pulp fiction, which is a masterpiece that didn’t work for me, and then jackie brown is just a bunch of fun. then kill bill is…

The movie was too cool to me i was I was traveling between two cities and I felt a deep sadness that broke my heart.but ts movie made me forget some dipresion cause the movie was about jackie brown as 40s lady who trayed to get the peace in her life thats the thing that i am the only one felt it and i like more the two vilans who had like a brotherhood before some one fuh some one…

Didn’t finish but I’ve seen the film at least twice before this one, making it my third time. Ended this watch at the 1 hour 30 minute mark. Funny thing, when Samuel L and De Niro come back from shopping that gave me the idea to ask my Aunt if we could go shopping today lol and now we seem to be doing that. 😄

Llevaba años con esta película pendiente en parte porque era la única que me faltaba por ver del amigo Quentin, en parte porque sabía que iba a ser de mis menos favoritas. Y lo he confirmado. Dos horas para poner todas las piezas en su sitio y que luego resulte todo tan predecible está muy por debajo de su nivel. Me lo salvan un poco Sam Jackson y Pam Grier, la música y alguna escena suelta. Todo vibes, poca chicha.…

The plot is pretty simple, but it’s still very entertaining. Pam Grier and Samuel L. Jackson give great performances, and I really enjoyed the character writing and pacing. The music is also fantastic, and my favorite scene is where Robert De Niro shoots Melanie in the parking lot. It’s so iconic and really made me laugh. My biggest problem is that the movie has quite a few tedious sequences that felt too long to me. I also felt like the…

Tem um roteiro inteligente e bem amarrado, mas é extremamente lento, num nível que chega a ser desnecessário, eu entendo a proposta do tarantino de querer cozinhar a história e preparar todo o terreno com muito cuidado pro final, que é disparado a parte mais interessante do filme com os planos e os golpes duplos finalmente sendo executados no shopping, o problema é que até chegar lá, vira um teste de paciência, essa lentidão toda acaba não somando em quase…

The characters aren’t memorable although De Niro and Michael Keaton gave incredible performances. It is a really heavy information movie and all that is boring. The character motivations are invisible at most and sometimes don’t make sense. It was a mid movie, overall, except for the performances.

A wild yet concise film. Not Tarantino at 100%, it’s a little long but the 3rd act is great. Pam Grier is amazing, Sam Jackson is eccentric and powerful, De Niro is subtle and honestly a bit underutilised. Pretty flawed in certain places but it’s made up for with signature Tarantino style, including way too much feet.

Street life şarkısını filmi izlemeden önce severek dinliyordum ve filmi izlemek istiyordum fakat film 2.5 saat olduğu için izlemeye üşeniyodum. Bugün ise izlemek istedim. Beni güldüren güzel bi filmdi beğendim ancak louisin melanie vurması bana saçma geldi (bir yıldızı burdan kırdım) ve maxin neden jackie bu kadar yardım ettiğini ve güvendiğini anlamadım. Filmin sonunda maxin jackie ile gitmemesi benim hoşuma gitti fallen angels filminde ki ajanı anımsattı ve kırmızı dudakları beni çok güldürdü bir diğer güldüren şey ise before i knock you the fuck up çevirisinin seni mıhlamadan önce olması altyazı candır ya :)) i play the street life :))

Not as flashy or violent as some of Tarantino’s other movies, but it still stands out in its own way. The performances are excellent, the soundtrack is great, and the story becomes more engaging the longer it goes.

Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown is zonder twijfel Tarantino’s minste film. Het verhaal is niet meeslepend genoeg, en daarom vond ik het soms saai om naar te kijken. De cast was wel goed en het acteerwerk ook. Wat ik dan wel weer jammer vind is dat Robert DeNiro een kleine rol heeft. Je zou toch wel verwachten dat zo’n top acteur een grotere rol heeft! Meer valt er niet over te zeggen. Wat wel leuk is is dat ik nu alles van Tarantino heb gezien en dus een ranking van zijn films kan maken!

Every time I revisit this movie I come away more impressed. The dialogue, the music, the shots are all fantastic. Tarantino had his work cut out trying to follow Pulp Fiction but he certainly did with this wonderful movie. Also the late great Robert Forster’s signature role.

po raz kolejny tarantino pokazuje jak niesamowity jest pod względem pisania dialogów. film o błahej tematyce a wciąga lecz nie mogę go ocenić wyżej. aktorstwo bardzo dziwne specyficzne i nie porwało mnie. dużo było momentów nudy. film trochę nie w moim typie.

That what i’m talking abouttttt. Chronologically speaking I think this is Tarantino’s first great film. Start to finish I absolutely love this movie. It can definitely be slow at parts and a little explain-y but excellent flick. I think Jackie is one of Tino’s best main characters. Also the fact that crude humor and excessive blood do not dominate this one is very refreshing.

muy diferente al resto de peliculas de Quentin, no solo contando con un ritmo mas lento sino con una conexion a los personajes mas humana y menos tirando a la usual ficcion que maneja Si tiene accion, pero es mas de crimen y romance y aun teniendo esa distincion los ultimos 30 minutos siguen siendo una locura. Nada que envidiarle al resto del catalogo de Quentin Me hizo recordar bastante a Heat

I’ve never expected a movie this honest with itself about old age and change from Quentin footblood Tarantino but there were some beautiful moments of self reflection of wondering what u wanna do in life especially while you’re in middle age. Jackie brown knows exactly what to do. She’s got a plan to get her life back on track and nothing stands in her way but she’s also doing all this because she understands that she’s stuck in a rut…

i loved reservoir dogs and pulp fiction and can definitely see tarantino’s directorial style in jackie brown, but it didn’t click with me for some reason. how all the individuals stories intertwined for a satisfying ending made it worth the watch, but i felt like the payoff was more satisfying intellectually than viscerally. it was enjoyable and intelligent to unravel each character’s plots and allegiances progressively, but it meant less to me, as none of the characters were particularly memorable…

A crime, comedy, and romance movie with a great cast and amazing cinematography. I have no notes. The character relationships were grey, every character was likeable. Great dialogue and some terrific shots!

Might be my fave of Tarantino´s. His use of music in this film was by far the best out of all his works. The lack of violent scenes make them hit so much harder when they do show up. The suspense, the soundtrack, the performances were all top tier, especially De Niro and Jackson. I´m actually a bit dissapointed this was the only movie De Niro and Tarantino did together. Though it makes some sense De Niro was already an…

Grande film. Tutti i personaggi molto ben disegnati e ottima recitazione. Samuel L Jackson un grande, nonostante l’assurda pettinatura e barbetta… Trama avvincente, montaggio divertente e dinamico. Mi chiedo perché non avevo già visto questo film a suo tempo

Needs even more Pam Grier but otherwise another incredible crime movie from Tarantino. Looked extra good on the 4k remastered copy I bought. Samuel L Jackson’s hair and beard in this movie should have sent Tarantino straight to jail though.

“Jackie Brown” (1997) Quentin Tarantino Filmography Oscar nominated for Best Supporting Actor (Robert Forster) Available for streaming rental “Half a million dollars will always be missed.” A flight attendant becomes the pawn in a chess game between a weapons smuggler (Samuel L. Jackson) and a federal agent (Michael Keaton) when a bail bondsman (Robert Forster) steps in to lend a hand. I was all ready to talk about my disappointment the first time I watched this movie way back when.…

⚫️Great acting across the cast, Pam Greer out here stunting on men was iconic but the film was a tad long ⚫️ Love the score, reflects the tempo in scenes and puts you in the right mood for whatever is about to go down ⚫️Film speaks eloquently on poverty and cycles within it to keep people down
