Movie Review

Grade: B Quentin Tarantino's follow-up to Pulp Fuction is a much more straightforward drama-comedy thriller about one woman just trying to get away clean, and with $500,000 in cash. Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Robert De Niro and Michael Keaton star in this fun, though not-nearly-so-perfect film by the title of Jackie Brown.
