When you ask someone to name a few of Quentin Tarantino's films, Jackie Brown is usually not mentioned. After the double whammy of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, the reception of Jackie Brown was a bit more tame. The word was: it's an okay film, but no RD or PF...
But this is still a very solid film. Strong cast all around, great nod to blaxploitation and a beautiful soundtrack. But what really makes this film stand out, is it's level of maturity. It's a more serious film than its predecessors and followers. And the film really shines in the dialogue scenes between Pam Grier and Robert Forster. They talk about growing old and all the pain and regret that comes along with it. Not typical Tarantino, but pretty damn good filmmaking nonetheless
