Mike D One of QTs best films. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/13/25 Full Review Maksim S Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown is a stylish, measured crime thriller that stands apart from his more explosive works. Pam Grier delivers a commanding performance as the titular flight attendant caught in a web of deception, while Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Forster provide memorable supporting turns. The film shines in its dialogue and character-driven tension, favoring slow-burn plotting over overt spectacle. While it may lack the kinetic energy of Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill, its deliberate pacing and clever twists reward patient viewers with a satisfying blend of suspense and dark humor. Not perfect, and occasionally meandering, but Jackie Brown is nonetheless a sharp, intelligent, and stylish crime drama—a solid 3.5-star Tarantino entry. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/12/25 Full Review Gavin F. Probably could have trimmed it a bit, but still a fantastic story and cast Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/25 Full Review Totally Legal A One of the worst films Tarantino ever made; its name is derived from an old crime novel “The Friends of Eddie Coyle” by George B. Higgins. I get that Tarantino probably saw the movie and didn’t read the book; Jackie Brown is supposed to be the arms dealer but instead we get what would be the start of Robert DeNiro looking much too old to be doing what his character is asked to. Que sera… Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review Mate P Jackie Brown is a long and slow movie that becomes more intriguing and exciting by the minute. The characters are obviously very well-written. Louis is definitely my favourite as he is just so funny. The story takes time to get going, but when it does, it gets very intriguing. Then, I thought this was the kind of movie where I don't know whose side Jackie is on. Though I quickly realised that this wasn't the case and I was a little bit disappointed in that sense. The ending still had a surprise for me though. The dialogues are well-written, but I felt tired by just how long some dialogues were. Although that might have been because I watched the movie late at night. The directing is good, but so far this is my least favourite Tarantino movie. With all that said, I really liked it, but I think it was just too long. I don't think this story needed 140-150 minutes. All in all the first two acts of the film are too slow for my taste. The cinematography is great, there was a lot of creativity in that department and some of the editing had great creative ideas too. The sound design is my favourite aspect, I rarely look out for sound during first watches, but this stands out even though it's not action, sci-fi or fantasy. The soundtrack is awesome, but with Tarantino I never expect anything else. The acting performances are stellar. Samuel L. Jackson and Robert De Niro disappear into character, while everyone else is also great. Jackie Brown is my least favourite film from Tarantino so far, but that doesn't mean it's not good. In fact, it's really good. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/22/25 Full Review Audience Member What a boring movie. Only watched because of De Niro. Thought it would be good. Man, De Niro was a total bum in this movie, lol... Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
