Don’t Miss Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Jackie Brown’ Streaming Free on Tubi This June!

by

In a rather unexpected decision for a filmmaker, Quentin Tarantino – known for only nine movies so far – has announced that he intends to retire after completing his tenth film. This move is certainly noteworthy given Tarantino’s significant impact and success in the industry. Among his earlier works, the 1997 crime thriller “Jackie Brown” is often overlooked but remains intriguing. Fortunately for fans, this underrated movie will soon be available on a new streaming platform.

Starting June 1, you can stream “Jackie Brown” for free on Tubi, a popular platform that offers a vast library of movies and TV shows. To watch this Tarantino cult classic crime film, all you need is to download the app and sit through a few ads. Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, the movie follows the titular character, skillfully portrayed by Pam Grier, who navigates the dangerous world of arms dealing while under scrutiny from both a ruthless dealer and federal agents.

As a die-hard Tarantino fan, I found myself engrossed in the intricate dance that was Jackie Brown’s character. Much like the masterful director himself, she skillfully navigated the treacherous waters of a dangerous feud, finding herself obliged to aid her boss, Ordell (the formidable Samuel L. Jackson), to ensure my own survival, while simultaneously orchestrating the authorities who sought to exploit me for their ends. This cinematic masterpiece, titled Jackie Brown, deviates from the gritty, pulsating tones of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, the two films he crafted prior to it, as it delves into a unique narrative terrain, reflecting Tarantino’s ever-evolving storytelling prowess.

‘Jackie Brown’ Is a Unique Entry in Quentin Tarantino’s Filmography

In the typical style that characterized later films by the director, Jackie Brown boasted a stellar ensemble cast, including Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Forster, Bridget Fonda, Michael Keaton, Robert De Niro, and Chris Tucker. While both Jackson and some of the other actors would collaborate with the director on multiple projects in the future, Keaton was one of those who did not work with Tarantino again.

Above all, Jackie Brown stands out as a testament to the director’s skill in creating a movie that offers a distinct flavor within his body of work. Upon its debut, this more mature and methodically paced film garnered praise, with Robert Forster earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Remarkably, Jackie Brown is considered one of the top crime thrillers from the 90s, paying tribute to the Blaxploitation cinema of the 1970s.

Including “Jackie Brown” on Tubi provides an opportunity for fans of Quentin Tarantino’s later work to explore one of his earlier productions. With entertaining performances that amplify its gradual, suspenseful tension and a characteristic soundtrack, watching this movie for free, albeit with some ads, is definitely worth it. Since Tarantino is yet to decide on his final project, now could be an ideal moment to watch the third film in his cinematic journey.
