I sorely wish Tarantino had made more 'straight' film dramas like Jackie Brown. It's an outstanding piece of storytelling.

i think Max loved Jackie from the start, but by the end realised he couldn't trust her. Jackie drives off into the sunset with a stack of money but back to square one and alone. as amazing as Tarantino dialogue always is its the unspoken parts of this movie that tell the story.

It’s not really about trusting her it’s basically how dangerous she is and how he isn’t really involved in stuff like that even though he loves her he knew he had to let her go and she in the end was tearing up since even though she got away with it all she still loves max and wished he came with her

"How hard it is to age....in poverty." You hit it on the head, K.S.O., this was a fantastic reaction to, what I think, is Tarantino's most mature work. It's the only movie he's done that's based on a book - and it's an Elmore Leonard book to boot! Thank you so much for doing this one, I KNEW you'd love it!!!!!!

Not enough youtubers react to this great movie, thank you!

I loved your reaction on Patreon this film is very underrated since it’s overshadowed by pulp fiction. This is Quentin Tarantinos most mature film and the only one he’s ever adapted from a book

The ending is sad she has the money and all but I think she really wanted someone to trust and stay with till the end and max was perfect but with all that happened it wasn’t meant to be

Jackie and Max are one of my favorite movie couples. They are wonderfully honest with each other. I like to think that when Jackie sent him that postcard, he went to join her at wherever she sent it from. And did you notice the music she played in their early scene at her apartment? It was The Delfonics (Max later buys the cassette, and it's playing when he and Odell are driving together at the end), and if you notice the second song playing in the background behind Jackie and Max is "La la la Means I Love You," which you've done a reaction to (I'm the one who requested it 😊). kzread.info/dash/bejne/lWuirdB6YKm4XZc.html

I think Max is wise enough not to. He's been around the block. But when you meet an attractive woman of a particular age who is still about 'the hussle', while yiu are trying to get out of the business: that's not the woman for you. Not at that age. Jackie is a dangerous woman who chooses crime when she gets desperate. She will never hurt him but, would you want that possible drama in your life when you are trying to slow down. I think I would do the same as Max. Let her go; a lot of people died. I don't want to invite that energy in my retirement but I'm glad I helped her.

Jackie Brown has a soft spot in my heart. My mom rented it from the video store (back when that was a thing) and didn’t watch it until late at night. I couldn’t sleep so I went looking for her. It was my first exposure to a Tarantino film + the gorgeous Pam Grier. I sat on the couch with my mom and watched it. We both loved it. She died 20 years ago but every time I see or hear mention of this movie, I think of that night watching it with my mom.

This movie got me to watch old school Pam Grier movies. Wow! I’m glad I did that. She’s amazing!

I still say this is Tarantino's most underrated movie, though I suppose it's more so just underseen as it's generally well regarded by those who've watched it. Pam Grier is fantastic, Sam Jackson is as good as it gets, and DeNiro is quietly really darn funny in this.

I love Jackie Brown. Pamela Suzette Grier shines in it. Sound track is memorable.

@edd I always liked this quote: When Pam Grier walked in to audition for Quentin Tarantino, "there were all my posters from twenty years ago, when I was just a piss and vinegar kid", she recalled. "And I said, 'Did you put these up because I was coming over?' And he said, 'No. I was gonna take them down because you were coming over!'"

This is my most watched QT film!!! I have a special edition DVD of *Jackie Brown* that came with a movie poster 🖼💙🎬

Pam Grier was the main female star of the '70's 'Blaxplotation' movies

My favorite Tarentino film by far because it has heart and I'm like Max, Pam Grier makes me feel like butter in a warm skillet. Fantastic reaction!.

Glad you liked this film - it's often overlooked. In the book, there is an ambiguity about Jackie - particularly at the end - she was twice married and partner in crime to two husbands who both met untimely ends while in both instances, she got away free and clear. The end in the book leaves you hanging waiting for Max's decision as he weighs the possibility that maybe he's been played too by this black widow and that he, the only living soul who knows the truth could suddenly join deceased husbands one and two.

Love me some Pam Grier

Great commentary! You really broke down the characters’ motivations.

Maybe the most underrated movie ever

"Jackie Brown" is from a book by Elmore Leonard. Another Elmore Leonard book was made into the film "Out of Sight" (1998) staring George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez, in which Michael Keaton plays the same character, Agent Ray Nichollett, as he played in "Jackie Brown".

Interesting tidbit: FBI Agent Ray Nicolette plays the same part in the movie Out of Sight with George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez.

Good job patrons, this is a GREAT film!!

Oh yes. My favorite Tarantino movie. :)

Thanks for reacting to this movie 👍 it's underrated imo

It’s sad how America in general, has politically removed Indigenous black folks from their land and resources. (Reparations needed) This movie highlights the difficulties of growing old without financial resources and the desperation it causes. Both Jackie (Pan Grier) and Samuel L. both know the real stories that have these themes as well. They have inspired many, for many years, to remember these often overlooked details, in our struggle to progress. They both did a phenomenal job, with an all star cast to boot! Great review...and synopses!

Oh, thank you -- I love this film. Robert Forster and Pam Grier are an unlikely pair, but I could watch them all day.

this has nothing to do with the p and anything, this is how the criminal mind works, the mind of a killer.

Love this film. Definitely one of Quinton Tarantino's best.

Definitely my favourite Tarantino movie. You called it well throughout KSO 👍

you're laugh is deelightful.

Max and Jackie were in love they would jave made a great team. The bittersweet ending leaves you longing and wondering did he eventually go after her. This is the best QT movie of them all imo

One of my all-time favorite Tarantino movies. Too few of my favorite reactors have reacted to this gem. & based on a crime novel called Rum Punch, by a favorite novelist, Elmore Leonard. Like Tarantino, Leonard was known for the snappy dialog & off-the-wall characters in his stories. So this adaptation is a perfect fit.

WHY hasn't KSO Watched SCHOOL OF ROCK?! ...Kids, Music, Rock'n Roll, Jack Black!

❤ Jackie Brown

A really funny movie about "Blaxploitation" movies is Eddie Murphy's "Dolemite is my name". Its actually based on a true story about a Black comedian who started off with selling recordings of his very rude comedy skits and then decided to make a movie. He ended up making one of the worst movies EVER but the process was so funny that someone turned the whole thing into a book and thats what the movie is based on. The movie itself was so bad that it became a hit comedy, even though it was meant to be a dramatic private detective movie. Dolemite is my name is hilarious. I highly recommend it.

Wait a minute, there are no young starlets falling out of their clothes, no buff, well dressed young men. No car chases, no scenic backdrops... How possibly could this movie be a success?

29:16 You missed it; Melanie called him "Chickenshit" after he moved away from her. Look at Louis' face. She insulted his Pride in that moment, and she paid for it later.......

Who tipped of the cops to nab her at the airport? probably Jackie Brown herself, her exit strategy

Louissssssssssssssssssssss 🤣🤣

3:15 that's Bridget Fonda

This is my favorite QT movie. His style is perfect for this type of movie. The dialogue is awesome.

Awesome movie ! Who didnt have a crush on pam grier!😍😍😍 Ur face at 19:00 😆😆😂😆😂 34:49 😆😆😆😆 "Ok im gonna notice things from you end and see how- HE KILLED HER!"

Not exactly true...actually Elmore Leonard wrote it & Jackie Brown was specifically a white woman named Jackie Burke in a novel called Rum Punch. Tarantino ADAPTED it & changed Jackie Burke, white woman, to Jackie Brown, black woman, specifically for Pam Grier.

Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😉

This is easily one of QT's best movies for me. Most people overlook it, which is a shame.

Ordell would not have killed Melanie. He was pissed when Louis told him he killed her. She was his favorite girlfriend.

Max loves her, but also he broke his moral and ethical code for her, the whole shtick they ran on Ordell. Yeah Ordell wasnt a good dude, but that was his money and Max knows it. But he broke his own rules for Jackie. Thats why he cant be with her, cause no matter how much he loves her, their relationship is built on a foundation of deception, not with each other, but what the two of them did. But also, he knows he's the lone wolf, and she's the eagle. He has to let her fly.

She's 44; hardly growing old. People in there 60's can "start over".

It's a long movie and could be leaner but I LOVE IT.
