Review Detail

Tarantino's "Jackie Brown" is for me his second-weakest film, with the weakest in my mind being OUATIH. Now to be fair that's because his other movies are so so damn good that even his middling-successes are still among my favorite movies. The problem with Jackie Brown is that it feels overly full in the same way OUATIH does. Too much talk, not enough movement, slightly bad actor choices. Obviously I'm not talking about Pam Grier and Robert Forster (RIP), they're absolute dynamite.

Somehow this edit manages to take out 100% of the Tarantino-fluff and leave a really nice tight story. There are a few moments that feel very slightly rushed but I think that's because in the original they're Tarantino'd to the fullest.

This edit is tight, the music changes are amazing (I loved that Max was seeing Pulp Fiction in your edit haha), and MOST OF ALL...

I loved your ending! Man!! Instead of leaving "Jackie Brown" with this semi-heartbroken-but-I-get-it kind of feeling, I was ear-to-ear smiling! What a fantastic cut, and watching it has actually made me appreciate the original more.
