Jackie Brown ****

Director: Quentin Tarantino

Year: 1997

Novel by: Elmore Leonard

Adapted by: Quentin Tarantino

Cinematographer: Guillermo Navarro

Pam Grier sinks her teeth into a great character. Great cast, great characters, and I think this might be Tarantino's most human work. By that I mean the characters don't feel like comic book characters, or just film characters, they feel more human than that, more three-dimensional. I just love Grier's portrayal of Jackie Brown, the middle aged flight attendant who isn't going to be pushed around by any more men. And I like the sweet little unconsummated romance between Jackie and Max Cherry. I just enjoy how the plot unravels. Fun movie.
