Quote:I was contemplating renting "Jackie Brown" as I passed it today in the rental aisle, but I went for "Casino" instead since I hadn't heard anything about "Jackie Brown." (I'd actually gone to the store to rent "Goodfellas," but all the copies were checked out. It was rather annoying to locate, too. I was looking for it in the "Drama" section but apparently it's "Action" along with ... LotR. Huh? Who decides these things?) How does "Jackie Brown" compare to Tarantino's other films?Very different in mood than most of his stuff, more gentle in tone and pace. It is partly a tribute to 70's blaxploitation films, and to the lovely Pam Grier. I had a bonus enjoyment from a number of the old soul tunes (mostly by the Del Phonics) that were playing in some scenes.

I recommend it.
Casino isn't bad, though like most mob films, is a bit long. I think it is up to Goodfellas standards.
