Jackie Brown (8.5/10)

Quentin Tarantino’s 1997 crime thriller has finally landed on Peacock, and it’s well worth the watch. Backed by a stacked cast and a sharp, engaging plot, Jackie Brown delivers the kind of character-driven crime story that keeps you invested all the way to its satisfying ending. The film runs a bit long and could probably trim some of its runtime, but the strong performances and layered storytelling make it worth the investment. With a standout ensemble and a clever crime narrative, Jackie Brown is an easy addition to your watchlist. "When flight attendant Jackie Brown (Pam Grier) is busted smuggling money for her arms dealer boss, Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson), agent Ray Nicolette (Michael Keaton) and detective Mark Dargus (Michael Bowen) want her help to bring down Robbie. Facing jail time for her silence or death for her cooperation, Brown decides instead to double-cross both parties and make off with the smuggled money. Meanwhile, she enlists the help of bondsman Max Cherry (Robert Forster), a man who loves her."
