Absolutely amazing film. I hear that it's insanely unrealistic, but it's so well-made and the performances are so good that it stands alone as a magnificent film even if it's not a particularly accurate one.
All the performances in the film are fantastic, but the film is a bit too erratic in its directorial style. That said, the film is worth seeing just for the acting.
Probably my favorite Tarantino film. It's populated by great characters, the plot is taut and plays out in an interesting way without being predictable or cliche, and the writing is amazing. Tarantino has quickly become one of my favorite directors, and this film is at the top of the list of reasons.

The film follows a predictable and somewhat cliche trajectory, but Bridges and Gyllenhaal save it and turn it into a pretty enjoyable movie to watch.Movie comment on Jackie Brown

This is movie is a Lifetime movie that just happens to feature a good performance by Sandra Bullock. But it was in no way an Oscar-worthy performance.
