I can’t explain it but this is my favorite Tarantino movie. It came out after pulp fiction, so it had no chance with critics who wanted something they didn’t get. But I love every bit of it from the characters to the music. It’s such a great movie, full of amazing performances. Also my favorite DeNiro character. DeNiro always plays these gangsters and criminals that are super competent, confident, charming, etc. In Jackie Brown he plays a criminal who is a quiet, burnt out loser, with no future and no use. I really loved how he went against type.
A great Tarentino movie that seems to fall in the cracks of his filmography.
I once heard Sam L. Jackson’s character described as thinking he was as cool as SLJ characters in other movies when he was really just a small time loser, and that description makes me laugh.
