Why 'Jackie Brown' Remains Tarantino's Coolest Movie

What happens next is what happens when an extremely smart woman with nothing to lose finds her back up against the wall. She puts up a fight — with as much of her dignity intact as she can manage.

It’s gripping because it dares to keep things loose, reveling in the who and why and what of it all rather than just the demands of the story. The movie flits between memorable L.A. locations — the Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, a sunny apartment in Hermosa Beach, Max Cherry’s office, the colorful airport terminal that’s home to Cabo Air — and equally memorable characters, major and not. It’s Tarantino, we’re talking about. Sure, there’s a plot.

is a movie about its actors and their histories. That’s part of the pleasure: watching legends like Jackson and Grier and Forster square off and reveal more and more of themselves over the course of the movie. , Jackson was a bona fide movie star; high-performing hits likehad sealed the point, box office-wise, while movies like the still-underseenreminded people that he was not simply a matinee draw, but an extraordinary actor, as pronounced and vibrant as a stage actor even when in movies.

Obviously, with Grier in the title role and an omnivorously referential mind like Tarantino’s at the helm, the movie’s ties to Blaxploitation are inescapable.

It's the only Tarantino movie that I still really like, though admittedly, I stopped at 'Inglorious Basterds.'
