Quentin Tarantino, a genius who brought us Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs returned with Jackie Brown, a tale of deception in the world of drugs-smuggling business. Heavily inspired by the 1970’s blaxploitation flicks, it tells the story of a stewardess, Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) who was pinned inside the cash-smuggling business as she’s tormented between two choices, becoming a cash-mule and in the end snitching her own boss or being smart by keeping the money for herself.

Booyah! Coming as it did after critical darlings "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction", it's perhaps not surprising that Quentin Tarantino's next film failed to - at the time - scale those giddy heights. Yet on reflection these days, when viewing Tarantino's career over twenty years later, it's one of his tightest works.

Jackie Brown (1997) Directed by Quentin Tarantino Quentin Tarantino could have spent his career chasing the adrenaline rush of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, refining his trademark violence and verbal pyrotechnics into a formula. Instead, he made Jackie Brown, and in doing so, announced that he was capable of something rarer: restraint, maturity, genuine emotional complexity. This is still pulp fiction, still genre through and through, but it's pulp that trusts intell…
