JACKIE BROWN - Faber

Jackie Brown is an airline stewardess who is arrested for smuggling money into the America, thus falling victim to a plot by the FBI to undo her boss who is trafficking in illegal arms. Jackie finds herself in a no-win situation, and her attempts to walk a tightrope between the two opposing factions gives the script its unbearable tension. Jackie Brown emerges as one of Quentin Tarantino's most extraordinary characters as she pulls the old bait-and-switch routine, playing the good guys off against the bad guys. Needless to say, Jackie Brown displays Tarantino's brilliance at structuring a story, as well as his genius for stimulating the senses with his dialogue.
