Quentin Tarantino directs this twisting homage to the black action movies of the 1970s. Air stewardess Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) also smuggles money on the side for gunrunner Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson). When she is caught with $50,000 and a consignment of cocaine, she makes a deal with Ordell: if convicted, she will not shop him as long as he pays her $100,000. Meanwhile Jackie also makes a deal with the cops, promising to help convict Ordell, and enlists the help of bail bond man Max Cherry (Oscar-nominated Robert Forster) in a daring attempt to outwit both the police and Ordell. Review: Tarantinos's zenith - I love the director's first triology, altough he made an obscure film before Reservoir Dogs, which really don't count. On this monumental cinematic experience he really combined his dialog driven excellence with (for the first time) with really good storytelling plot. The first two movies were, off course driven by the dialog driven exellence, and Pulp Fiction has the incdredible multitude of intervowen stories, which in my cinematic experience is unparallelled. With Jackie Brown he made, in my opinion, for the first time a really gigantic leap in classic movie directing. No longer was the film driven by his, to the point of hillarity, love of shocking love for visual violence. This is a work of high class mobie art, altough his wicked sense of humour clearly is a large part of this film as well, but it surpass the the first two films by bringing in his video/tv hero/heroine of his video past: Plot main character Pam Grier, surprise choice and a mighty delivered appereance by Robert Foster, with the usual suspect (Samuel Jackson) and celluoid giant De Niro who delivers his most comedic appearance since King Of Comedy. These factors combined with the jaw dropping directorial stamp, the cinematic beauty, the exceptional good storyline (the script was written on the basis of the Leonard novel, Rum Punch, if I am not mistaken) and the clear departure from the first two pictures, cements my subjective stand that this is his best movie. Unfortunately i feel his vision and filmaking has gone down the tube since this milestone. I know he did a fantastisc job in exegurated graphic violence, to the brink of hilarity, and his martial artist fetischism in Kill Bill 1, but this was not my cup of tea. The follow up movie was a yawn and the rest of his cineomatic carreer has, sadly, taken a nosedive. Though the idea behind Django Unchained was probably a leap towards former glories, and believe me I would have loved if he made another epic. He was without a doubt the most talented director and dialog writer of my generation (there weren't many of them). Although he stole as a raven, true geniuses steal without getting caught, dillettantes do. He took his "trash"/ B-movies knowledge and produced it into new cinematic/orgasmic dimensions.The first triology will stand their test of time and will be hailed as masterpieces long after I turn my toes up. Jackie Brown stands out as his directorial zenith in this triology, and in my book is that era's by far best cinematographic excellence (the irony is on it's cinema debut in my country, many walked out on this movie, just looking for the violence of the predecessors, which in their ignorance, clearly missed the other strenghts of 😱😄). I hope it'll be realeased in the tin book treatment Pulp Fiction was given a year or two a go, and I'll buy it again on Blu Ray (that'll be the fifth time I buy it, from the VHS days, to two DVD editions and now on Blu Ray). Collectomania and my love of directors contrary to actors, has decreased my bank account to the brink of poverty on many occasions. Run out, log on the the net, stand on your head if you like, but do yourself a big favour and buy this masterpiece, preferably in its highest quality format to date, Blu Ray! "The Resovoir" Blu Ray edition is the clearest picture I ever seen on this format (you can see very clearly the textures in Mr. White's suit! 😍). I hope this can be in any help to any fence sitters. It lit my world and gave me hope in "new cinema", back in the day. Review: More Twists than an Anaconda - Superb Acting by the whole cast. Brilliant Direction, Superb Photography. This really is a GREAT movie of its type . I loved it. Just Watch it - Brilliant

Jackie Brown 4k Bluray
Beautiful scan, one of the best 4k transfers I've ever seen. 10/10. The movie itself is great too, but that's obvious.

An under apreciated classic.
Coming off the heels of Pulp Fiction almost any movie would seem "inferior" and many bash on Jackie Brown for just that. Which is rediculous to me, because although not as good as a movie that many consider one of the greatest movies of all time, Jackie Brown is still a great cat and mouse crime movie, with great performances and an awesome soundtrack to boot. Jackie Brown has to be one of the most underrated movies out there just because of the directors previous movie, and it is mind boggling because off the top of my head I can't think of any other directors movie who had this judgement so harshly. Jackie Brown is a great movie that is definately worth watching and having in your collection.

truly spectacular 4K release
The two 4K Kill Bills have been unanimously panned by fans and critics. Thankfully the UHD release of Jackie Brown was treated with a lot more love and attention. Incredible that a 35mm film negative can yield such an enormous amount of detail. The pores and wrinkles of these incredible performers pop off your OLED screen as never before. I can't even remember if the theatrical release showed this kind of sparkle. Also the HDR makes the (frequent)dark scenes a joy for the eye. Yes and there's of course the movie; Jackie B ranks among Pulp Fiction as the two undisputed crowning jewels of QT. Highly recommend. And the 4K is as good or even better as Reservoir and Pulp, also beautiful UHD upgrades. (Beautiful steelbook and cover BTW)

If I search in the amazon search bar: "Jackie Brown 4k" and the first result is a bluray that costs 30 euros I'd expect it to be a 4k bluray. A normal 1080p bluray for 30 euros is very expensive, it's like twice the normal price

Classique de tarantino je dirais même culte avec pulp fiction et réservoir dog, brillante distribution avec une belle pam grier sur le retour et un Samuel lee Jackson impressionnant

Jackie Brown is a good Quinton Tarantino movie, although it's not as good as Pulp Fiction!

Jackie Brown ist Tarantinos entspanntestes und vielleicht erwachsenstes Werk. Pam Grier glänzt in der Titelrolle, unterstützt von Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster und Bridget Fonda. Statt Exzess gibt es Präzision, Timing und Figurenzeichnung – getragen von Elmore Leonards Vorlage. Die 4K-UHD liefert eine sehr natürliche Präsentation mit stabilen Farben und exzellenter Detailtiefe; das HDR bleibt dezent, aber wirkungsvoll. Tonspuren: Englisch DTS-HD MA 5.1 – klar, dialogzentriert, mit sattem Score; Deutsch DTS-HD MA 5.1 – gut verständlich, etwas weniger räumlich. Stilistisch zeitlos; die ruhige Inszenierung profitiert vom hochwertigen Transfer. Fazit: Ein Tarantino für Genießer – in dieser Edition technisch und sammlerisch top.
