    Not the best Quentin Tarantino film. Two of my favourite scenes are with samuel L jackson in the car playing strawberry letter 23# and the part where Robert De Niro shoots Bridget Fonda in the car park for talking to much is funny and shocking all at once. :D

    Lo que llama poderosamente la atención en el cuarto largometraje de Quentin Tarantino, Jackie Brown (1997), es la manera en que rescató del olvido a dos emblemáticas figuras del cine de los 1960 y 1970: Pam Grier, un icono del blaxploitation, y a Robert Forster, famoso actor de los 1960, a quien redescubrí posteriormente en el semidocumental de 1969 ?Medium Cool?. En Jackie Brown, Tarantino los sitúa a ambos como protagónicos, emulando con su película algo del estilo blaxploitation.

    Basada en la novela de Elmore Leonard, Rum Punch (1995), Jackie Brown toma como referencia, desde el título, aquel filme también protagonizado por Pam Grier, ?Foxie Brown?. El inicio es sumamente musical, escuchándose de fondo el tema ?Across 110th Street? (interpretado por Bobby Womack). Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) parece flotar delante de un fondo de mosaicos azules, en un largo plano que marca el inicio de uno de los más logrados thrillers de Tarantino.

    Tarantino se permite pequeñas extravagancias, como la pantalla dividida para narraciones alternas, así como flash-backs, utilizados con inteligencia, para saber imprimir adecuadamente el suspenso en ese centro comercial donde tiene lugar el plan de Jackie y Ordell. Esta secuencia permite a Tarantino introducir elementos interesantes, a modo de ?reciclaje cultural?, como esas novelas baratas de bolsillo que Jackie guarda en la bolsa de ropa con dinero.

    Good suspense but overall boring and waste of 3 hours. This is one of Tarantino's least captivating movies.

    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!

    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..
