Jackie Brown 1997
Jackie Brown seems to fly under the radar when looking at Quentin Tarantino's catalogue. But this cat&mouse crime dramedy is a lot of fun.
Pam Greer nails the role as the titular character. She is crafty, she is sly and she kept me guessing the whole time. Which says as much about the writing as it does about the performance.

Solid movie. Really fun, Especially if you're already into Sci-Fi genre. I know Frank Herbert's iconic novel stands tall in the Sci-Fi world.

And it seems like we, the audience, are being asked to wait for the 'real story' to begin. The sequels will determine whether this new movie adaptation was worth the effort. Still, its worth a watch if you already like this sort of thing.

It has all the drama, thrill, and intrigue of a Greek drama. Truly Shakespearean.
