Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
You savor every moment of Jackie Brown. Those who say it is too long have developed cinematic attention deficit disorder. I wanted these characters to live, talk, deceive and scheme for hours and hours.

Austin Chronicle - Marc Savlov
It's a straight-ahead caper flick, very cool, and very, very Seventies (although it takes place in 1995), from production and costume design on down to the soundtrack.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Tarantino keeps things moving along nicely, with a heavier dose of humor and less violence than in Pulp Fiction, but, on the whole, this movie seems more like the work of one of his wannabes than something from the director himself.
75
USA Today - Mike Clark
Between Jackson's opining and De Niro's hopeless alibis when he messes up, Jackie is good for a bundle of bloody ho-ho-hos.
70
Film Threat - Ron Wells
Quentin actually made a REAL movie, with believable characters and performances, rather than just repositories for clever dialog.
