I have mixed feelings about Jackie Brown. I liked it, but then again I didn't in a lot of ways. Mainly, I think it would have been a good shorter film, but it didn't seem to work as a full-legnth movie. It felt like it didn't have all that much substance to it and the plot was too simple and plain for a whole movie's legnth. The film is about Jackie Brown, a flight attendant who smuggles illegal gun money from Mexico to America to give to Samuel L. Jackson's character. She gets caught and is forced to go under cover to try and nab Jackson with illegal gun charges. She then decides to try and trick both sides (the cops and Samuel L. Jackson) in hopes of getting more money for herself. This is mainly what the movie is about. There is also a bail-bondsman who "falls" for Jackie. It is also worth mentioning that Robert Dinero plays in his most middle-aged complacent pothead role who's main purpose in the movie is to get stoned with Samuel L. Jackson's blonde bimbo girlfriend. I would recomend seeing this movie if it was on TV or if you are a Terrintino fan. For me, this movie felt like it was somewhat plain and empty.
3 1/2 stars
