(8-Exceptional Film)
Cool. Funny. Underrated.
An L.A arms dealer (Jackson) has a flight attendant, Jackie Brown (Grier) transporting money for him. When two law enforcers get a hold of her, she decides to strike out on her own, stealing the money, and keeping the two agents off her back. She enlists the help of a smitten bail bondsman (Forster). Funny, typically sparkling dialogue by Tarantino. Expertly plotted. Clever use of nonlinear storytelling. Memorable characters. All-time great soundtrack.
