Jackie Brown, despite the seemingly masculine name, is a woman and a flight attendant. And so, in one terrible moment, she was transporting money from Mexico to her boss in the states, and she was caught, and she was pressured, and she promised to turn her boss in. She promised the same boss she wouldn't tell the police. How can you trust her after that?
Of course, the film did not make as much impression on me as his first work, but nevertheless I liked it. According to its concept, the film resembles Tarantino’s first script work “True Love”, there, too, everything was twisted around money (only in drug currency), something similar endings, and the film is more less developed the same way. In some places it is simply boring, and in some places it gives out chic segments. This is where the similarity of the films ends. By the way, I liked them equally, but Jackie Brown has an undeniable plus, it is made in a purely criminal style, while True Love for me was just an exciting action movie. This is, as I said, pure crime. It's better to say a criminal scam. Because the sex of the movie is a real scam. And I'm even glad that it's over, because it's over, because I couldn't stand some dashing turn of events. And so everything is predictable, logical, but nevertheless effective.
There's also a good cast. In fact, there are two stars in the film. Samuel L. Jackson and Robert De Niro. Jackson won well. A gun baron who prides himself on his work and tells everyone he knows everything about guns when he doesn't really know anything. Still, I can’t get out of my head his phenomenal image of Jules from Pulp Fiction with his curls, manner of conversation, here he did the same thing (most likely on Tarantino’s tip), but everything was not so spectacular. De Niro, well, it's just... I have not seen such a “brick” in the cinema for a long time. Although he may have had this image, but still no emotions, only at the end of the film.
What has always fascinated me about Tarantino’s film is the soundtrack. So there were a couple of very not bad clips (again, most likely, taken from antiquity), but in general they turned out to be some monotonous. Compared to "Reservoir Dogs" ...
The film as a whole is not bad, I liked it, but in places it developed too dull and Tarantino in his manner could have promoted everything faster, but as it happened, it happened and nothing can be done about it.
