Jackie Brown - BLURAY, Digital, 4K ULTRA HD [4K UHD]

Great movie, loved the intrigue, big fan of Michael Keaton, so this is one more of his films I can check off my list.

This film often appears at the bottom or near the bottom of Tarantino rankings... But why? Is it because it’s the only story he did not tailor-make from the ground up? Is it because it came right after Tarantino’s masterpiece “Pulp Fiction”? Who knows why this film is so misunderstood, but it is.... “Jackie Brown” follows, well, Jackie Brown, who is a stewardess working for Cabo Air. In a great one take opening shot we see Jackie Brown smuggling money from Cabo to take to her crime boss Ordell Robbie. It is a successful operation until she gets to the parking garage. She is stopped by ATF agents who find the money as well as some coke which she smuggled against her knowledge. The first interrogation scene in this film is a perfect introduction to the film. It lets you know exactly what you are in store for, Great performances and amazing dialogue, per usual for Tarantino. I will stop the synopsis there because I highly recommend you watch the film if you haven’t seen it, and if you have the film back in the day but wrote it off because it wasn’t “Pulp Fiction” please give it another chance. It is arguably Quentin Tarantino’s most plot driven film. Tarantino will typically reside in the “in between” moments of his plots, but here for once the plot take the front seat and the Great dialogue takes the back burner. The plot and characters are investing from the beginning, a woman who is playing everybody, she is on her own side and she is going along with everybody’s plan while the whole time formulating her own plan. Also, Samuel L. Jackson as Ordell is phenomenal, he is such a great villain. Then, there is Max Cherry, a bail bondsman who gets caught up the whole situation. He is one of the most compelling parts of the film, he is an aging man, he started his bondsman business but he is unhappy and he wants to retire, but until he can retire he’s pretty much like “I made my bed and I have to lie in it”. He and Jackie build up great chemistry along the way and you want them to be together but you know they are too different from one another. Robert Forster (RIP) as Max Cherry was so good he got an Oscar for the film. We also have Robert De Nero as Louis, who is Ordells right hand man and he just got out of prison. Along with, Bridget Fonda as Melanie, who is Ordell’s squeeze. Louis and Melanie have their own subplot in the film. This sounds like a lot of main characters, which it is but Tarantino balances all his character perfectly, just as he usually does. The film is riveting from beginning to end, its 2h 35m but it never drags. It’s a masterpiece and people need to recognize this film more.

Every time you watch this you can notice something new.

Great movie about the criminal underworld that oddly isn’t discussed as much as Tarantino’s other films. It’s slower, more methodical, but it rewards the viewer with rich characters that just leap off the screen and straight into your heart. Especially Max Cherry. The melancholy dripping off Robert Forster’s performance in this should be taught in all acting classes.

Some 4K's are worth the double dip, and some aren't, but boy is this one of the good ones. Aside from being a great movie, with a great cast, this restoration just flat out beats the blu-ray in every respect. Plus, I got a great price on a buy 3 for the price of 2 deal!

Jackie Brown is one of Tarantino's most underrated films. I only gave 4 stars because upon watching the special features it became clear this is literally just a reprint of disc one from the 2 disc edition because Tarantino talks about how he does into more detail about something on disc 2 but there was no disc 2. Just something the buyer should know.

Dialogue, screen writing does not get better, just brilliant. Lots of profanity, but hey it's Tarantino so you know going in. This is so realistic, the actors armed with the best screen writing deliver in spades. Was surprised at how good Pam Grier is as an actress, and Sam Jackson right behind along with De Niro, Forrester, Fonda, Keaton. But make no mistake, Grier was born for this role and commands the screen and story. The 4k disc is superlative, big quality jump over previous blu-rays.

I'll start with the soundtrack. Some movies are very much influenced and remembered for the soundtrack. Such examples of that would certainly be `Jaws' & `Psycho'. Background music is important, or lack there of, as is the case in the 2007 hit `No Country For Old Men', and so we tend to pay attention to it. In the case of Jackie Brown, the influence of the 70's musical touch creates a setting that compels us to maintain our focus, more so than with your run-of-the-mill movie. The music hooks us from the opening credits and never stops. The acting in Jackie Brown is fantastic. There isn't a character in this movie that you don't believe or buy into. Samuel Jackson stunned me with his powerful performance and Robert De Niro has mastered the bit of a dim-witted, always high, ex-con. Together they dominate the screen with their plans to become successful gun dealers during the 80's. What Quentin Tarantino does better than any other director, is he assembles a cast of actors who are able to portray characters which force the audience to both love and hate them at the same time. It doesn't matter whether the character is supposed to be good or evil, at some point during the movie; you're going to think of that character as both or either. You'll find yourself getting disgusted with the character and then laughing at or with them, sometimes in the same scene. Perhaps the greatest aspect of Tarantino's movies is that of the dialogue. Sure his movies are graphic and filled with more twists than a gun barrel, but what makes them click, and none better than Jackie Brown, is the dialogue. The characters give it to you hard and fast and you believe them. While Pulp Fiction & the Kill Bill movies gained the most recognition, Jackie Brown is his sleeper masterpiece that puts them all to shame when it comes to the script. If there was an academy award category for dialogue - Jackie Brown would be a runaway nominee. Jackie Brown is one of those movies that you don't need to put together, or try to figure out what is going on. That is a step away from what we have come to associate Tarantino with, but it works perfectly with Jackie Brown. We're allowed to simply sit back, watch, listen and enjoy a bunch of shady characters as they try to swindle and kill each other off - all in the name of the almighty dollar. Jackie Brown is a thrilling ride and certainly one that you will enjoy watching more than once.

I love the director's first triology, altough he made an obscure film before Reservoir Dogs, which really don't count. On this monumental cinematic experience he really combined his dialog driven excellence with (for the first time) with really good storytelling plot. The first two movies were, off course driven by the dialog driven exellence, and Pulp Fiction has the incdredible multitude of intervowen stories, which in my cinematic experience is unparallelled. With Jackie Brown he made, in my opinion, for the first time a really gigantic leap in classic movie directing. No longer was the film driven by his, to the point of hillarity, love of shocking love for visual violence. This is a work of high class mobie art, altough his wicked sense of humour clearly is a large part of this film as well, but it surpass the the first two films by bringing in his video/tv hero/heroine of his video past: Plot main character Pam Grier, surprise choice and a mighty delivered appereance by Robert Foster, with the usual suspect (Samuel Jackson) and celluoid giant De Niro who delivers his most comedic appearance since King Of Comedy. These factors combined with the jaw dropping directorial stamp, the cinematic beauty, the exceptional good storyline (the script was written on the basis of the Leonard novel, Rum Punch, if I am not mistaken) and the clear departure from the first two pictures, cements my subjective stand that this is his best movie. Unfortunately i feel his vision and filmaking has gone down the tube since this milestone. I know he did a fantastisc job in exegurated graphic violence, to the brink of hilarity, and his martial artist fetischism in Kill Bill 1, but this was not my cup of tea. The follow up movie was a yawn and the rest of his cineomatic carreer has, sadly, taken a nosedive. Though the idea behind Django Unchained was probably a leap towards former glories, and believe me I would have loved if he made another epic. He was without a doubt the most talented director and dialog writer of my generation (there weren't many of them). Although he stole as a raven, true geniuses steal without getting caught, dillettantes do. He took his "trash"/ B-movies knowledge and produced it into new cinematic/orgasmic dimensions.The first triology will stand their test of time and will be hailed as masterpieces long after I turn my toes up. Jackie Brown stands out as his directorial zenith in this triology, and in my book is that era's by far best cinematographic excellence (the irony is on it's cinema debut in my country, many walked out on this movie, just looking for the violence of the predecessors, which in their ignorance, clearly missed the other strenghts of 😱😄). I hope it'll be realeased in the tin book treatment Pulp Fiction was given a year or two a go, and I'll buy it again on Blu Ray (that'll be the fifth time I buy it, from the VHS days, to two DVD editions and now on Blu Ray). Collectomania and my love of directors contrary to actors, has decreased my bank account to the brink of poverty on many occasions. Run out, log on the the net, stand on your head if you like, but do yourself a big favour and buy this masterpiece, preferably in its highest quality format to date, Blu Ray! "The Resovoir" Blu Ray edition is the clearest picture I ever seen on this format (you can see very clearly the textures in Mr. White's suit! 😍). I hope this can be in any help to any fence sitters. It lit my world and gave me hope in "new cinema", back in the day.

If I search in the amazon search bar: "Jackie Brown 4k" and the first result is a bluray that costs 30 euros I'd expect it to be a 4k bluray. A normal 1080p bluray for 30 euros is very expensive, it's like twice the normal price
