Quentin Tarantino is clearly finding it difficult to follow the phenomenal success of "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction", which made him the hottest writer-director of his generation. In the six years since then this is the only time that he has returned to the directors chair. ...( read more)
It's on secret that Tarantino is a huge Exploitation/Sexploitation/Blaxploitation fan but this is quite a poor effort in trying to capture the style of that genre. The cast are also a little on the slack side, Jackson, Grier and Forster are good, but they've all been better. It i...( read more)
I actually liked this film more than Pulp Fiction despite it being a slight flop apon release, it works better than Pulp as its alittle more up to date in style and look plus the story is much more enjoyable and fun haha Pulp was kinda seedy and gritty where as this is more 'cine...( read more)
It's slick, cool and utterly hilarious. A total great time. Director, Quentin Tarantino has done it again. Pam Grier is marvelouse. Samuel L. Jackson is teriffic. Robert Forester is fantastic. Robert De Niro is wonderful. Michael Keaton is brilliant. A wonderful cast of character...( read more)
Ordell Robbie: I didn't know you liked The Delfonics.
Quentin Tarantino's follow up to Pulp Fiction is about a flight stewardess trying to con her way out of jail, by playing a dangerous gun runner and the cops who are after him against each other, by planning a clever switch in...( read more)

A great Tarantino that fell by the wayside as the movie closed in. Jackson was a hilarious dealer extrordinaire... he was so descending to little Fonda haha. Pretty good thru-out but needed a more conclusive ending
One of my favorite Tarantino movies that did not get the attention it deserved!
This is the movie that proves Tarantino is the real thing, and not just a two-film wonder boy. full review
Scene by scene, Jackie Brown is amusing, but after two hours, it seems sluggish, and at that point still has a half-hour to go. full review
Well I certainly imagin Boddha1nirvana, that you were not dissappointed??? Another amazing role for BOTH Robert DeNiro & Samuel L. Jackson...based on the book Rum Punch written by Elmore Leonard. [thank you for identifying this book title, JohnChristie & GaryStev!] I searched on www. goodreads.com & Quentin Tarantino (Director) wrote this screenplay. Bridget Fonda is quite the tease in this flick!! This much I remember about it (when it came out).. I watched an interview (Perhaps David Letterman?) where Quentin Tarantino made this film keeping a long ago made promise to the amazing lead actress, Pam Grier--aka a role for her!Flixster - Share Movies
I'm going to see this in the theatre in about an hour, and it better not suck.
Being a Tarantino flick and all, I'm sure it won't.
I'm just saying..
