Jackie Brown is honestly a weird film from Quentin Tarantino. Mainly because it’s reserved. Okay it’s still two and a half hours long, it still has the camera work that Tarantino is known for, the script is clearly Tarantino (complete with his liberal use of slurs), and of course always a star studded cast.
