Bitscape's Lair

Jackie Brown

Rating: ***
Date Seen: 1997-12-30

This movie bears Quentin Tarantino's wonderful flare for film making. The cast did an excellent job. Samuel L Jackson played the role of the gun dealer with his usual flare. Robert De Niro did well as his sidekick. Bridget Fonda, also a great performance. I was paritcularly surprised to see Michael Keaton's nicely done performance as an ATF agent. It's been a long time since Batman. Pam Grier, previously unknown to me, did a marvelous job as Jackie Brown, the flight attandant and money runner. The dialog, as expected in a Tarantino film, was spellbinding. Lots of unconventional camera angles and high emphasis on the soundtrack give Jackie Brown an edge unique to Tarantino films. This was a movie well worth seeing.
