5.0 out of 5 stars a great plot, who's playing who?, August 4, 1998

By A Customer

This is a great screenplay you wont wan't to put it down. Elmore Lenord does it again, you can't wait for the end, but you don't wan't the book to stop.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great screenplay from a great writer, February 25, 1998

By	Senator@cyberramp.net (Dallas, Tx) - See all my reviews

I liked Jackie Brown so much that I read the screenplay and Rum Punch. The story was just a brilliant caper. However, I have this to say to Quentin Tarrantino: why all the "N" words?

5.0 out of 5 stars Quentin does it again, February 26, 2008

By	C. Erb "Need Hanzo steel..." (Lancaster, PA U.S.A.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tarantino and Leonard strike gold. This screenplay (in the words of Tarantino) "is about 50% Leonard and 50% me." Those are great numbers for any fan of these guys. The screenplay is great, and it's a cinematic pleasure to watch. Read this, I hope you'll agree.

4.0 out of 5 stars It wasn't good as I expected...
Jackie Brown was pretty good, but it didn't have too much action. It concentrated on the charcters, which is not a bad thing...but it pretty much took up most of the space. Read more
