Jackie Brown (4K UHD Steelbook) [Region A & B & C]

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.

The two 4K Kill Bills have been unanimously panned by fans and critics. Thankfully the UHD release of Jackie Brown was treated with a lot more love and attention. Incredible that a 35mm film negative can yield such an enormous amount of detail. The pores and wrinkles of these incredible performers pop off your OLED screen as never before. I can't even remember if the theatrical release showed this kind of sparkle. Also the HDR makes the (frequent)dark scenes a joy for the eye. Yes and there's of course the movie; Jackie B ranks among Pulp Fiction as the two undisputed crowning jewels of QT. Highly recommend. And the 4K is as good or even better as Reservoir and Pulp, also beautiful UHD upgrades. (Beautiful steelbook and cover BTW)

Brilliant quality film 🍿

Good Storyline and cast. What more can ask from a movie.

One of Tarantino's less understood and appreciated films, maybe because he decided to add some drama and intimacy to his usual and irresistible circle of characters and brilliant plots and dialogues.It is not easy to tune in with that, because as you start laughing then you sense there is something more going on, like this time he wants to know how they feel and not how they show or hide their feelings.It is maybe a more classic Tarantino, with less abuse of music, some slower tempos and longer scenes and shots. It is like he wants to take a break fomr the story and, while it unfolds, he puts his eye on characters' relation and the way they develop throughout the story.As usual he gets the best out of the actors but here he gets even more: De NIro best performance in years and a refreshing return of two old seventies starsA film that improves everytime you watch it.

Now one of my favourite Tarantino films, it's not as brutal throughout but has some horrendously violent scenes. It's got a lot of gentle and clever ideas woven into a fast paced, crime thriller. Don't expect the male heavy cast you get in the majority of his films but something woth guts and character focused round Jackie the central character, who you do actually care about. Also enjoyed the ending without it being ott sentimental etc as sometimes male directors throw female characters under a bus so to speak. Kick ass til the end and excellent dialogue.

Classic film, brilliant 4k picture, same old 5.1 sound. Worth buying but not at full price.

The film looks superb in 4k.Highly recommended.
