Jackie Brown
1997
Synopsis
When flight attendant Jackie Brown is caught smuggling money for her arms dealer boss, she’s pressured by law enforcement to help bring him down. Instead, she devises a plan to double-cross both sides and keep the money, with the help of bondsman Max Cherry, who has fallen for her.
Editorial
The least Tarantino-y Tarantino movie may also be his most pleasurable: a smooth adaptation of Elmore Leonard’s Rum Punch that finds the director at his most mature & restrained. Jackie Brown may be most notable for its unlikely pair of brilliant lead performances by Pam Grier & Robert Forster.
