Jackie Brown (1997) - with author John Bukowski

Greetings! In this episode of Stamper Cinema, we take a deep dive into Jackie Brown, Quentin Tarantino’s soulful, character-driven crime film and one of the most underrated entries in his filmography.

Based on Elmore Leonard’s novel Rum Punch, Jackie Brown stars Pam Grier in a career-defining performance as a middle-aged flight attendant caught between the ATF and a dangerous gun runner played by, Samuel L. Jackson. Unlike Tarantino’s flashier films, Jackie Brown unfolds as a patient, mature story about aging and survival.

Rounding out the this insanely talented cast includes Robert Forster in an Oscar-nominated role as bail bondsman Max Cherry, Robert De Niro as the hapless Louis, Bridget Fonda, and Michael Keaton in a crossover appearance from Out of Sight. 

If you’ve ever overlooked Jackie Brown in Tarantino’s catalog, this episode makes the case for why it deserves another look. Enjoy!
