When I was a dumb teen, I thought this was just OK. But now that I'm a dumb adult I can appreciate Jackie Brown much more. Grier is so, so perfect for the role it's almost scary, and DeNiro playing against type was a nice addition. Its grounded, mature, low-key nature (for Tarantino standards) doesn't diminish the tension once it's needed. There's no real spectacle here and it doesn't feel like a movie that's trying to make you love it, and I think that's why I enjoyed this so much.

Jackie Brown is a little different than other Tarantino flicks and it's all the better for it. It's mellow, it's grounded, it's less caught up in being cool for the sake of being cool and more focused on being a bit more real-to-life, even depressing. Hell, I was almost convinced by a romance in a fucking Tarantino movie. Weird. Pam Grier and Samuel L. Jackson steal every scene, especially when they're together.

'Jackie Brown' moves at a relaxed pace. It has the same effect as 'The Big Lebowski', one of inviting you to come back and spend time with these great characters again. By far the least indulgent and most mature film QT has made. You root for Grier and Forster, and Jackson's Ordell is a marvellous creation. De Niro, Fonda and Keaton perform enjoyably as well. Underrated.

Definitely the lowest-impact Tarantino feature outside of Death Proof in terms of both memorable characters and memorable moments, but still good. Jackson, De Niro, Grier, and Forster are all great. Also, the casting director is named "Jaki Brown," which made me laugh because I'm a juvenile idiot who laughs at stupid shit only I find funny.

Jackie Brown is a much more subtle film than just about anything else Tarantino has made, and it's gone overlooked in his catalogue for that reason. But while I wouldn't rank it with his very best, it's a great film in its own right, and it retains many of his directorial trademarks - it's a QT project through and through. Grier, Jackson and Forster are great.

On paper this sounds similar to QT's previous crime films. But he elevates this one to a social thriller by infusing society's perception of age, race, class, and gender as obstacles for our heroine to overcome. What's astounding is that at 34 he made his most mature story yet; with characters giving profound thoughts on aging. While he does reuse his old tropes (nonlinear narratives, L.A., movie discussions, heroes pretending to be someone they aren't) it's still clever. Highly recommended.

Seems to be a forgotten film from Quentin Tarantino. Could be that it's based on a novel. While Jackie Brown may not boast a lot of [often gritty and gleeful] violence found in Tarantino's other films, this still has a great story and really good acting from basically the entire cast, which is all you need to make a good movie in my opinion. Still has his sense of humor too. I really enjoyed it. If you like Quentin Tarantino and somehow waited until now to watch it like I did, you'll like it.

Uncharacteristically subdued for Tarantino, "Jackie Brown" still shows his handiwork in all the right ways. This love-letter to Blaxploitation may be one of Tarantino's most overlooked, but Grier and the themes of growing old and moving on make this one of his best.

I liked that it wasn't as bloody as other Tarantino films, instead focusing on quieter scenes, reflection, and dialogue. Everyone puts on a strong performance. Middle-aged Pam Grier puts on a convincing strong act that beats her younger work. Samuel L. Jackson was a scary villain but grounded in more realism. Robert Forster was deep. Whatever happened to Bridget Fonda? I couldn't unsee Tarantino's foot fetish. Fav scene: long shot of Forster in the dept store made me worried SLJ would jump out.

Pam Grier walks down a hallway. Samuel L Jackson preaches for a couple hours. Samuel L. Jackson drives a shitty car from the 70s. Samuel L. Jackson pops some tapes into his cassette deck. DeNiro watches TV. DeNiro smokes a bong. DeNiro prematurely ejaculates. Somebody gets shot. Pam Grier walks down a hallway. This Elton John's circle of life. Does there exist any Tarantino-baked jive vomitory that doesn't contain some jarring scene in which he professes his unwithering hard-on for Japan?

Jackie Brown in my opinion is Quentin Tarantino's most criminally underrated film. This is such a cool and fun experience that brilliantly pays homage to the blaxploitation films of the 70's. The cast is impressive also with great performances from Pam Grier, Robert Forster & Samuel L. Jackson in particular. With the addition of a strong screenplay, a stellar soundtrack and one of the coolest opening title sequences ever, Jackie Brown is definitely one of my favourite Quentin Tarantino films

A talented director's masterpiece; QT deftly interweaves his own iconic brand of dialogue and storytelling seamlessly with EL's brand and creates a great film, rewarding multiple viewings. Entire cast is sensational, but elevated especially by Grier and Forster at the forefront in a wonderfully touching not-quite romance, and Jackson's devilish riff on his own Jules from PULP. Pleasingly relaxed and mellow atmosphere distinguishes this from QT's usual frenetic (but effective) directorial style.

A lesser work from Tarantino, but that still implies it's pretty great, and his dialogue skills are still top-notch.

While there is no such thing as a perfect film, for me this is as close as it gets.

Tarantino's most character-driven film, and definitely his most under appreciated. Robert Forster's soft spoken, contemplative character is so precise and realistic that it's almost hard to tell he's acting. All of the players do excellent jobs, and there are lots of great lines. But this isn't the in your face, "look how quirky I am" Death Proof-style Tarantino; this is him at his most refined and mature.

(after repeat viewings) Arguably Tarantino's most conventional effort, with nothing in particular standing out. Aside from Jackson being an intimidating mothafucka, the performances were pretty flat and the camerawork from Navarro rather one note. I get that Pulp Fiction was a tough act to follow, but at least he found his groove back with Kill Bill and later films.

Some fans argue it's a 'mature' Taratino film, that the human interaction feels more 'real' and 'genuine'. Yes, it does, but it also comes at a price, and for JB that means a rather standard plot with a multi-perspective section that doesn't work nearly as well as it did in Reservoir or Pulp. For all its virtues, it just doesn't snap, crackle or 'pop', and therefore lacks the same impact. Nonetheless, Grier is great, and Forster proved he was more than a reliable B-movie staple.

A predictably great performance from Samuel L. Jackson and a very subdued turn from Deniro hold everything together. Probably the least Tarantino feeling of his films, but there are some signature moments that remind you who you're watching. While the conclusion was overly convoluted and ultimately unsatisfying, the characters and story are more than enough to make up for it and keep you interested until the end.

My gut feeling is that I liked this slightly less than Pulp Fiction, but more than Death Proof. Apparently my immediate reaction to DP was way more positive than I figured. I feel like I probably missed out by not being familiar with Grier and Forster, but I liked them both right from the get-go, and enjoyed the film as a standalone experience. It had the off-kilter cast + dialogue I like from Tarantino, and it came without the usual off-putting bits, though maybe that made it pop a little less.

Jackie Brown - the Q man's first feature as a writer and director since Pulp Fiction, in 1994 - scores a knockout just the same. Loaded with action, laughs, smart dialogue and potent performances, Jackie Brown is most memorable for its unexpected feeling. Tarantino adapts Elmore Leonard's 1992 crime novel, Rum Punch, without losing the author's compassion for compromised characters who defy the reduced options that come with age.

Whilst Tarantino's previous effort gets worse on every viewing, this one gets better because it doesn't waste time on stylish pandering/wanking. Everything in this film serves the story and does so well with some top-shelf narrative trickery that Tarantino is known for. And Jackson's performance is one of the best of the '90s; how does that man spit so fast?!

I didn't enjoy watching Jackie Brown. It didn't hold my interest until the final act, and even then, it relied on the single gimmick of characters double crossing one another to get what they desire. While the characters were developed really well, the story failed to be engaging. In a slow-burning drama, the story needs to draw you in or else you'll end up wanting to turn the film off. That's what happened here -- I wanted to stop watching.

I'd say it's a tie between this and Inglourious Basterds for my favorite Tarantino film. The problem I have with many of his works is--although he creates very memorable characters--I just don't often find them likable. Yet, Jackie Brown works perfectly, especially the stand out, time-twisted mall sequence.

Often considered the runt of the litter as far as Tarantino is concerned, "Jackie Brown" is still a great movie. The script is typical Taratino dynamite, & the cast are supurb. There are also several very memorable scenes, & a totally engaging plot. However it does not quite hit the heights of what he had made before. For me that is because this film is a tad too long for its plot, even if the plot is very good. It sags in the middle and loses its focus, unable to quite hold your attention.

One of the most underrated movies of all time. I don't like it as much as I used to, but it's still amazing and one of the best book adaptions I've ever seen.

Tarantinos most mature movie up to date - great performance by Pam Grier Bonus points for Helmut Berger

I think with Tarantino's movies it's never a question of good or bad, because, honestly, I've not seen a really bad movie by him. They may be silly at times, but they are always creative and innovative. The same counts for this movie: Maybe it's not as cuckoo - completely positively spoken - as all his others, but it is cunning concerning narrative because it is hardly predictable. DeNiro surprises another time and Samuel L. Jackson is cool as ever.

Jackie Brown is a great movie that is overshadowed by Pulp Fiction (seriously, how could he top that?) It also has one of De Niro's last great performances and Pam Grier is all kinds of sexy and kick ass.

Quentin Tarantino always puts together a movie you want to see, but not always a great movie. It is even harder to say this, since Pam Grier and Robert DeNiro are in the movie, but I never felt the movie got where it needed or wanted to go.

Nice sense of style but terrible pacing; the first sign that Tarantino really needs a better/more vigorous editor at times.

I can't point out a single thing that isn't right, but something just doesn't click for me like it did in PF and RD. Still a great movie.

My favorite Tarantino film. Not flashy or gimmicky, but just a very well done movie.

I have scored this below PULP FICTION but it would not surprise me if a subsequent viewing of both movies produced a different outcome. My recollection is that this was the more interesting and "grown-up" of Tarantino's cinematic efforts (to that point), but that some of the characterisation and plotting did not quite work. Grier and Forster were very good.

I think this one will age better over time, it's perhaps Taratino's most sophisticated movie thus far.

An underrated crime thriller. It's cool, laid-back, kind of weird, and well worth a watch.
