Jackie Brown | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Grier and Jackson are excellent, while Forster steals the entire picture with his understated turn -- he earned the film's sole Oscar nomination, for Best Supporting Actor.

The intricacies are enough that it’s largely impossible to follow along with knowledge of how it might all fall apart (hence all the flashbacks), sapping a bit of the suspense and creativity.

Forget Tarantino’s baggage. Jackie Brown is a vulnerable movie from a mainstream American filmmaker of any generation, especially at a time when stars are required more than ever to behave as if they don’t age.

A more reflective film, with deeper characterizations coming from an older cast willing to sit with a moment. It’s also incredibly entertaining, funny, well-crafted, and detailed, making any revisit worthwhile.
