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 Eliseu M "Jackie Brown" shows a more mature and elegant Tarantino, with Pam Grier shining in the lead role. Slow-paced, but full of style and intelligence. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/08/25 Full Review marvin n talk talk talk ................
