Jackie Brown is one of the most underrated movies to be released in 1997. Quentin Tarantino made a gritty adult film which featured one of the most underrated actress of the sevnties Pam Grier. While the film isn't as violent as Dogs or Fiction. Samuel L. Jackson gives a great performance and the cameo from Chris Tucker is hilarous
'Jackie Brown' has suffered from the case of being an amazing film that's less amazing than the other amazing works of the director, in this case Quentin Tarantino. Because of this it's amazingly underrated but by no means is a weak film. The film revolves around the story of flight attendant Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) who works out a scheme with a bailbondsman (Robert Forster) to swindle a massive cash smuggle from under the nose of both the DEA and drug/gun runner Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson in yet another amazing Tarantino flick performance) for whom the money was for. It doesn't have the tension, rush, or paranoia of 'Pulp Fiction' or 'Reservoir Dogs' but those two set the standard so high that it's really not all that surprising that 'Jackie Brown' is essentially forgotten about. Bridget Fonda, Robert DeNiro, Chris Tucker, and Michael Keaton all have standout minor roles as well. Highly recommended.
