| Plot |
| Quentin Tarantino wrote and directed this adaptation of Elmore Leonard 's 1995 Rum Punch , switching the action from Miami to LA, and altering the central character from white to black. Ruthless arms dealer Ordell Robbie ( Samuel L. Jackson ), who lives with perpetually stoned beach-babe Melanie ( Bridget Fonda ), teams with his old buddy Louis Gara ( Robert De Niro ), just released from prison after serving four years for armed robbery. ATF agent Ray Nicolette ( Michael Keaton ) and cop Mark Dargus ( Michael Bowen ) bust stewardess Jackie Brown ( Pam Grier ), who was smuggling money into the country for Ordell. Ordell springs Jackie, but when middle-aged bail bondsman Max Cherry ( Robert Forster ) picks her up at the jail, he's attracted to her, and they choose a romantic route with detours. Mistrust and suspicions surface after Jackie pits Ordell and the cops against each other, convincing Ordell that she's going to double-cross the cops. Tarantino commented on the film's budget: " Jackie Brown only cost $12 million. You can't lose. You absolutely, positively can't lose. And you don't have to compromise." — Bhob Stewart |
