Jackie Brown (1997)

from Do We Like Movies? Hosted by Angel Figueroa & Javier Lopez

We are back in Tarantino world! This week we review his 1997 film Jackie Brown, which takes the style of 70s Blacksploitation and mixes it with the novel "Rum Punch" by Elmore Leonard. When a flight attendant played by the legendary Pam Grier is caught trying to smuggle money into the United States from Mexico, she is left with two choices, either go to jail, or cooperate with ATF agents to catch her gun running boss played by Samuel L. Jackson. With the help of her love interest, a bail bondsman played by Robert Forester, Jackie decides that she is going play both sides against each other and try to make off with the money herself.
