Jackie Brown 4K UHD

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.

One of QT's best films! Adapted from an Elmore Leonard novel, Rum Punch. Really great performances from Pam Grier, Samuel L Jackson, Michael Keaton, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Robert De Niro, Chris Tucker, etc! The quality of the Blu Ray is great. No need, in my opinion, to upgrade to 4k unless you watch this movie frequently.

Great story,suspense, actors I would recommend this movie

Samuel Jackson and Pam Grier were robbed that year for the Oscar's. The whole movie is top notch, every actor in this movie top notch. The music ( soundtrack ) was just awesome ( music. I grew up with ) just the best selection of songs per the scenes. Great storyline, and love story you would never expect. The 4K version is very sharp. Movies that I have multiple versions of ( DVD, blu-ray, and now 4K ) are just classics. Loved it when it came out in 1997 and still love it now. One of those movies I can watch over and over again. I think this movie is Quentin Tarantinos best ( my opinion ) anyhow if you like Samuel Jackson movies, I believe this is his best, and Quentin's best ( my opinion).

Quentin Tarantino had a lot to prove after "Pulp Fiction" and I bet many people were a little disappointed when "Jackie Brown" debuted in 1997. Opening Christmas Day with the tagline "Santa's Got a Brand New Bag", audiences were treated to QT's most natural film to date. A film about older folks (gasp!) struggling to stay cool in a modern world. Not much of the verve and energy from "Pulp" was carried over to this film, but what was is Tarantino's fantastic dialogue mixed with Elmore Leonard's dense plot and characters. Sometimes it is tough to follow who is betraying who and where allegiances actually lie (I admit to still being a tad confused) but I think that's kind of the point. This is a film to be watched, and enjoyed, multiple times. In short, Tarantino proved he was much more than a one trick pony by creating a film that is the opposite of what had come before (and since) yet still is undeniably a Quentin Tarantino film. If you don't warm to his extreme genre-laced work then give this one a try.As far as this Blu-ray is concerned, the film has never looked or sounded better. With some caveats. The image has been tweaked to give it a more warm palette, specifically regarding skin tones. They can look a little too sun-burned at times. This didn't bother me as much as the lack of fine detail. Oh it certainly looks a lot better than it did on DVD but I expected it to be a bit more sharp. Still a satisfying transfer (approved by Tarantino apparently). I have very little complaints about the audio, however. The 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track is tip-top, showcasing both the fantastic dialogue and songs. Another minor complaint: they've replaced the old Miramax logo with the new CGI one at the start of the film. A minor caveat that isn't as annoying as Disney replacing their classic blue logo at the start of their animated classics. Gotta stop that, Disney.The extras are mostly repeated from the previous 2 disc DVD (which is good) with the addition of a new critics round-table discussion called "Breaking Down Jackie Brown". The critics all love the film (including one who didn't like "Pulp Fiction" that much but loves this one) and their insights are all fun to hear. Other highlights include the retrospective documentary, a long interview with Tarantino where he talks about EVERYTHING, the Siskel & Ebert review, and, best of all, a huge gallery of vintage trailers featuring the two stars, Pam Grier and Robert Forster. Very cool. Still no commentary from QT but I wasn't expecting one. All in all, a great edition of a film that needs to be seen by more people.Film: 8/10Video: 7/10Audio: 8/10Extras: 8/10
