Jackie Brown

1997 · Crime, Drama, Thriller · Quentin Tarantino

At 38% across 243 head-to-head matchups, Jackie Brown is still building its BingeBracket record. Tarantino's most mature film is also his least flashy, which divides his own fanbase cleanly. Voters who prize restraint over spectacle treat it as his best work; the rest barely think of it.

Synopsis

Jackie Brown is a flight attendant who gets caught in the middle of smuggling cash into the country for her gunrunner boss. When the cops try to use Jackie to get to her boss, she hatches a plan — with help from a bail bondsman — to keep the money for herself.
