	Jackie Brown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jackie Brown is a 1997 motion picture, the third film directed by Quentin Tarantino.
		Jackie Brown was released on a two-disc Collector's Edition, with the first one being the movie, and the second one titled 'The Perks', with many special features for the movie.
		It's a carefully judged reference to the movies of the 1960s, that both places Jackie in a recognisable age bracket, and neatly illustrates the nature of the cultural change in Los Angeles in the intervening years.

	JACKIE BROWN COLLECTOR’S EDITION
		Slick and smart, Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) is pinned against the wall by a gunrunning gangster and an aggressive Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agent.
		Jackie’s theme music plays here as well, identifying the sound for the audience, a device that will be used to an even greater degree in the closing scenes of the movie.
		The echo of Jackie’s footsteps as she walks away from the correctional facility is awesome as it rolls through the surround sound, reminding the audience that this woman is alone and against all odds.

	DVDFILE.COM: Jackie Brown review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Jackie is crafty, and comes up with her own scam to snag the money and get Ordell busted, complete with double crosses that don't leave anyone unscathed, not the feds, Ordell, his zonked-out accomplices Bridget Fonda and Robert DeNiro, or Jackie herself...
		But in Jackie Brown, she gets the role of a lifetime, and with a loud, ringing declaration of self-confidence delivers a career-defining performance.
		By all regards Jackie Brown is a relatively "quiet film," in that there are no big explosions, gun blasts or asteroids to be found.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Jackie Brown
		If successful, Brown could get Robbie out of her life and end up with a great deal of money, but the set-up is risky in a dozen different ways.
		Jackie Brown is a handsome middle- aged woman whose great poise masks the despair and desperation she feels.
		Despite its difficulties with pacing, though, "Jackie Brown" is ample proof that Quentin Tarantino continues to grow as one of America's brightest filmmakers.

	Salon Entertainment \| Long-legged woman
		"Jackie Brown," the new Quentin Tarantino movie in which she stars, was made because Tarantino had loved Grier in '70s blaxploitation pictures like "Coffy" and wanted to find a starring vehicle for her.
		Jackie is a flight attendant in her 40s who supplements her peanuts pay by smuggling money into the U.S. for a gun runner named Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson).
		Some of the best moments in "Jackie Brown" are when he simply allows his camera to watch her, as she's carried along a moving airport sidewalk while Bobby Womack's "Across 110th Street" plays on the soundtrack or simply as she's sitting enjoying a cigarette.

	From Dusk Till Dawn With Quentin Tarantino
		Ordell springs Jackie, but when middle-aged bail bondsman Max Cherry (Robert Forster) picks her up at the jail, he's attracted to her, and they choose a romantic route with detours.
		One of those workers is Jackie Brown (Grier), a stewardess with a fly-by-night airline that shuttles between L.A. and Mexico.
		Though it's Jackson who provides whatever energy "Jackie Brown" can manage, it is a treat to see Grier, who has the intimidating physicality of a sexy linebacker, be "too cool for school" and face down any troubles the script throws her way.

		Shortly afterwards Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) who smuggles money for Ordell to supplement her stewardess' income is caught with $50,000 and a stash of cocaine at LA airport.
		Jackie then tempts Max to come in with her on a $500,000 deal and things to get a little complex.
		Though Tarantino throws in a few references to Jackie's heightened marginality within his film, the real reason he made this change was simply to give Pam Grier a leading role.

		But if Brown has pulled off the trick of big, sustainable investment in the public services we care about, it will be the biggest achievement of New Labour in power.
		The main political argument against the Brown succession was always that the chancellor would be, in the end, unpopular with the English middle classes who decide elections.
		Brown never talks in public about his own ambitions; he seems to find it painful and demeaning.

		As Jackie Brown, a 44-year-old flight attendant for a last-resort airline, Grier is earthy, funny, smart, and often touching.
		Jackie is running money for a gun dealer named Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson), a ruthlessly pragmatic criminal with an efficient way of dealing with employees who've been nabbed by the cops: he bails them out and then kills them (so they won't rat on him).
		When Jackie herself is arrested by two feds (Michael Keaton and Michael Bowen), she knows her options: go to jail for a year and start her life over at 45, or end her life in a car trunk.

	Jackie Brown Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		"Jackie Brown" is the latest Leonard adaptation, based on 1995's best-selling "Rum Punch", a novel with quirky characters, double-crosses, and off-kilter humor-- perfectly matched for the cinematic stylings of Hollywood badboy director Quentin Tarantino.
		The title character, Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) is a forty-four year old airline stewardess with a crappy job on a third-rate Mexican airline.
		However, before the sly arms dealer can cap her, Jackie turns the tables and 'convinces' Ordell to go along with a complicated scheme that will allow him to bring his half-million into the country while allowing Jackie to fulfill her obligations to the Feds.

	Jackie Brown
		Jackie Brown starts off at a langorous pace, with flashes of Quentin Tarantino brilliance, including an excellent soundtrack, Samuel Jackson's unforgettable Uzi speech and great dialogue.
		When Brown is busted for carrying cash and coke for the duplicitous Ordell, the 44-year-old stewardess decides she's tired of being on the garbage heap of life and attempts to pull off a sting of staggering complexity, outwitting Robbie and the feds.
		While the moral majority 'tut' at the film's content, many fans are delighted that Jackie Brown still has lots of swearing, a little blood, no Mexican stand-offs, two-and-a-half hours of witty dialogue, guns, more swearing and a soundtrack to die for.

	Jackie Brown . Austin Chronicle . 12-29-97
		What I'm arguing is that what we have come to see as Tarantinoisms are simply cinematic affectations (though often spectacular ones), when at the heart and soul of his work is a strong moral vision conveyed through character and dialogue.
		This was brought home at the recent Austin Film Society benefit screening of Jackie Brown hosted by Tarantino (one of three premieres he attended -- L.A., N.Y., and Austin) with Richard Linklater, Robert Rodriguez, and Mike Judge presenting (with the renowned Harry Knowles in the audience).
		In Jackie Brown, the performances are amazing, the dialogue brilliant (nobody writes dialogue like Tarantino), Pam Grier's lead drives the film in a way women are rarely allowed to.

	"Jackie Brown" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Jackie Brown is based on Elmore Leonard’s novel Rum Punch, with one minor change.
		Jackie Brown is rated R for extensive profanity (at least 200 including two dozen N-words and other racial slurs), violence, minor sexual content, and one scene of drug use.
		Jackie Brown was made for two groups of people: people who are big Pam Grier buffs (like myself) and people who dig retro 1970's kind of stuff.

	CNN - Review: 'Jackie Brown' -- There's no place like homeboy - January 5, 1998
		He falls for the sultry Jackie quicker than a 9-year-old might (in one ridiculous shot), and winds up giving her pointers as to how to properly pull off her scam.
		Though it has its moments, the same couldn't remotely be said of "Jackie Brown." Tarantino has made a crime movie that, aside from its densely-plotted money switcheroo, could have been dreamed up by a junior high schooler who digs mid-'70s credit sequences.
		A groovy credit sequence is one thing (and "Jackie Brown" has one), but Grier driving to the mall while listening to a soul station in the middle of a 2 1/2 hour movie is infuriatingly self-indulgent.

	Jackie Brown
		Jackie, although 44 and smart, works as an underpaid flight attendant for the world's worst airline because a criminal conviction in the past makes her virtually unemployable.
		In addition to those characters, you have the king of "film as jazz", Samuel L himself, playing his usual brilliant riffs as the swaggering, blustering, arrogant, sarcastic, arms dealer who is not quite as "bad" and not quite as smart as he thinks he is.
		Jackie Brown (1997) is the DVD release of the month, and I am happy to report that it was worth waiting almost 5 years for.
