The TVI Take

Tarantino's 1997 Elmore Leonard adaptation, his only adapted screenplay, is the entry most critics underrated on release and now read as one of his most disciplined works. Pam Grier's Jackie Brown is rare leading-woman Tarantino work whose intelligence is the actual structural engine.

Robert Forster's Max Cherry renders the romance Tarantino otherwise rarely commits to. The split-perspective money-handoff sequence is one of the cleanest screenplay-structure achievements of the late '90s.
