JACKIE BROWN is mundane and highly immoral with many obscenities, drug use, illicit sex, and some violence. While PULP FICTION shocked audiences at every scene, JACKIE BROWN remains largely un-involving and stale until the money heist. Some may appreciate some of the dialogue and pop cultural references in this movie, but the blaxploitation references may be lost on younger audience members. Through careful acting, Jackie convinces all the players involved that she is allied to them, until the day of the pick-up, where her ultimate allegiance is revealed. Rounding out the cast are Robert DeNiro and Bridget Fonda. Ordell releases her on bail, but Jackie sets up a sting operation where she can abscond with a half-a million dollars intended for Ordell. Doing the busting is FBI agent, Ray Nicolette, played by Michael Keaton. She is caught smuggling cash into the country from Mexico for her partner, the crooked illegal arms dealer, Ordell, played by Samuel L. 1970's B-movie star, Pam Grier, plays the title character, a 44-year-old stewardess. The latest Quentin Tarantino movie, JACKIE BROWN, is surprisingly low on gore but still manages to bore.
