Jackie Brown Review
Director Quentin_Tarantino's first full-length feature after 1994's phenomenally successful Pulp_Fiction is every bit in the same class as his previous two films, and cements his status as a director of genuine style, intelligence and, in this case, warmth. A more subdued, character-driven affair than Fiction, the film was criticized by some for its generous length, but the superlative cast keeps things afloat. The director's knack for unearthing neglected performers continues: Jackie Brown resurrects Pam_Grier, veteran of such venerable blaxsploitation films as Coffy (1973) and Foxy_Brown (1974), as well as TV staple Robert_Forster, who would receive an Academy Award nomination for his work. Tarantino affirms his talents as a scenarist as well, turning in a sparkling update of Elmore_Leonard's novel -Rum Punch. Matthew Doberman, Rovi
