Seeing as this week has been QT-crazy, I decided to revisit Jackie Brown...click here for a full review.

We will pay the price but we will not count the cost..
Or, alternatively, you can take a look at my review. Not as in-depth, but nontheless, very accurate!

lol.
I disagree, I think it`s really good but about 1/2 an hour longer than it needed to be. Some of the scenes were great but some `let`s get high` bits slowed the film down too much.
Reminds me, haven`t seen it for a few years but have the DVD sitting unwatched. Must watch it soon.

I completely disagree with you guys. I think many people were let-down when seeing JACKIE BROWN because it was not another PULP FICTION. It`s not a hip, non-linear morality play, doesn`t contain any big speeches on popular culture, and doesn`t have major shootouts. JACKIE BROWN is all about simple pleasures, telling us a simple story motivated entirely by characters. It`s not a retread of either of his films, yet still remains amazing in its own right.
I don`t why you`re complaining about the running time - its only one minute longer than that of PULP FICTION, and nobody whined about that. On the first viewing it does seem to go on forever, but thats because Tarantino directs this leisurely and we just chill with the characters. He directs this like a grown-up blaxploitation film, starting off with a typical blaxploitation opening, with Pam Grier looking all cool, then shows her just going to work. This kind of maturity is what the film is all about and makes it my personal favourite Tarantino.
