Jackie Brown
The third film from Quentin Tarantino, based on the crime novel Rum Punch by Leonard Elmore. Tarantino moves the action from Florida to Los Angeles, where flight attendant Jackie (Pam Grier) gets caught smuggling cash into the country for her gunrunner boss (Samuel L. Jackson). When the cops (including Michael Keaton) try to use Jackie to get to her boss, she hatches a plan - with help from a bail bondsman (Robert Forster) - to keep the money for herself.

Roger Ebert
pressThis is the movie that proves Tarantino is the real thing, and not just a two-film wonder boy.
Los Angeles Times
pressA leisurely and easygoing diversion that goes down easy enough but is far from compelling.
Empire Magazine
pressTarantino has once again defied the critics and produced a movie that solidly establishes him as still the most important filmmaker of the decade.
