A Memorable Crime-Comedy

Jackie Brown (1997)
Directed by Quentin Tarantino, rated R, 154 minutes

Jackie Brown is a brutally funny and flawlessly written homage to blaxploitation movies about a flight attendant that smuggles money for a gun runner, who tries to play the cops and the criminals to get $500,000 of the gun runner's money. Pam Grier, the star of many old blaxploitation classics, does a surprisingly good job. Samuel Jackson and Robert Forester also deliver, but it's Robert De Niro who gives an unforgettable and hilarious performance. The film cleverly mixes laugh out loud dialogue, interesting characters and an entertaining crime story that really comes together in the end. Jackie Brown is a fun and exciting crime-comedy with an incredible cast and fantastic writing and directing by Quentin Tarantino.
