IU Cinema Staff Selects: JACKIE BROWN

This sly, slow-burning crime thriller follows a flight attendant who masterminds a dangerous double-cross to outwit both criminals and law enforcement. Quentin Tarantino’s third feature film, following Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, adapted from Elmore Leonard’s novel Rum Punch, features a standout cast including Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda, and Michael Keaton. Forster received a Supporting Actor Oscar nomination alongside Golden Globe nods for Grier and Jackson, and a BAFTA nomination for Quentin Tarantino’s screenplay. [154 min; drama, crime; English]
