This was a great movie. Unlike his other movies where the action and violence is superfluous and a bit shocking, this movie really shows his skills as a director. The violence is turned down (comparatively) but it surprisingly add more suspense. The wordplay, interactions and tension between all the characters is where this movies shines. Everyone does a stellar job. No character is over played and all feel to fit their roles like gloves. They are real people with real problems and real consequences. And the soundtrack adds to the atmosphere, it makes you think you are watching a 90's blaxploitation flick.

Maybe my least favorite Tarantino movie, except for Death Proof, but after watching it a few times over the years, it has grown on me a bit. It has little of the uniqueness of his other movies, but it has a good story and a great cast.

This feels a little like Pulp Fiction light but without as much violence. It's not a bad thing but it feels a little familiar. Still there is everything I love about Tarantino movies, great characters, great dialogue, great music, great cinematography. It's a great movie, just not one of Tarantino's standouts.

Outstanding, no two ways about it.

'Jackie Brown' makes for a great watch, I personally found the pacing excellent; which is obviously important for a 2hr 30min+ production. The cast knock it out the park, while the story is riveting. It's worthy of the hype, one of Quentin Tarantino's best no doubt.

Pam Grier is fantastic as the titular character, Samuel L. Jackson is quality as well - the scenes that those two share are top notch. Robert Forster plays a much larger part than I was expecting at the beginning, which is only a massive plus as he gives a great performance. You also have the likes of Michael Keaton, Chris Tucker and Robert De Niro involved - I actually would've like to have seen De Niro used more meaningfully.

Not much more needs to be said, I'd only be repeating what everyone else has positively said about this. It's brilliant.

It's on Amazon Prime now, and it's interesting watching on the iPad with IMdb X-ray which gives all the production background.

I liked the movie. Acting was good and DeNiro's character was quiet but there was a raging bull somewhere inside. Liked this Tarantino film

Jackie Brown tells a great story, but it's the characters that take this film to the next level. The players in this 70s inspired crime drama are rich in dialog and subtext. Some may say the movie is too long, but when the character writing, cast, and performances are this good... that's a point of view I just can't understand.

If you had the chance to walk away with a half a million dollars, would you take it? Potentially the most underrated, or at the very least, the best underrated Tarantino flick out there. Jackie Brown begins us on the path of Quentin fulfilling desires to create certain types of film and as for this one, an homage to Blaxploitation films. For starters, having 'Coffy' & 'Foxy Brown' star Pam Grier as the titular character was absolutely perfect to both solidify the genre tribute and to bring out a very believable sympathetic character to cheer for. This may also be one my favorite Sam Jackson roles. Sprinkle in De Niro and Forster and you get A+ delivery for what I would say is a solid B movie.

Good film, classic tarantino movie

Almost certainly Tarantino's best effort.

"Jackie Brown" is a great film filled with quirky dialogue, solid acting and a fantastic soundtrack. While I found certain parts somewhat uninteresting, most of this film is highly enjoyable and tautly written. Samuel L. Jackson delivers another terrific performance, and so does the rest of this colourful cast.

Overall, high-quality.

_Jackie Brown_ is fine, though a little over complicated and with a disappointing end.

Easily Quentin Tarantino's most mature work, which admittedly isn't saying much for a director who brought us the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique and a literal blast of adrenaline to the heart. That's not to say his films have ever lacked in substance - rather, I think the true depth of their character is merely overshadowed by those visceral moments of graphic excess and their stylish methods of delivery.

Jackie Brown, instead, manages to step out from that bloody shadow and shine on its own volition. Its lingering close-ups and long doses of heady silence give the impression that the plot is moving slowly, when in fact it's going roughly a mile a minute. Tarantino just wants us to savor the performances of his all-star cast and the tangle of plot threads that surrounds them before forcing our heads out the window and punching the gas in the last twenty minutes. Along the way, he subtly, efficiently grazes a gamut of emotions that leaves us deeply invested in the (often untimely) fate of each character.

Rich, complex and rewarding, it's not as flashy as Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs, but it's every bit as excellent.

This movie is Tarantino on the “downlow”. Not as flashy as some of his other movies but great in the same breath. Great performances by Pam Grier and Robert Deniro. This movie has a great feel about it. It’s like your along for the ride just watching from their couch or backseat. Love this movie!

I expected more from this one but still a good movie..

Jackie's still got it.

Pam Grier!
Wonderful woman. cool, smart and beautiful.
And Bridget Fonda, whom I adore.
I love Tarantino's screenplays, but in this film the humor is overshadowed and there are no great lines. His charm is diminished.
