Jackie Brown

Tough Draw Below average in every round
1997 · Crime, Drama, Thriller · Quentin Tarantino

The record for Jackie Brown is clear: 37% across 225 head-to-head matchups, with no round offering a foothold. It's below average from start to finish. 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.
