Story Synopsis:
Based on Elmore Leonard’s book “Rum Punch,” “Jackie Brown” features Pam Grier as the title character of Quentin Tarantino’s most recent action-crime caper. Brown is a stewardess who supplements her meager income by smuggling cash into the U.S. for gunrunner Ordell Robbie (Jackson), until the day she is busted and asked to help bring Ordell in. (Suzanne Hodges)
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 DVD picture exhibits rich colors that sometimes appear a bit oversaturated. That said, these bold hues are well balanced with deep blacks. Images are sharp and nicely detailed, with good contrast and shadow delineation. Unfortunately, edge enhancement can be downright distracting. There are some minor instances in which moiré patterns are noticed, and pixelization is also occasional. The jacket erroneously states that the picture is 2.35:1. (Suzanne Hodges)
Soundtrack:
The DTS® Digital Surround™ 5.1 audio exhibits slightly greater refinement in terms of spatiality and low-end presence, in comparison to its Dolby® Digital counterpart. This is a soundtrack repurposing, and the result is rather impressive with a consistent sense of spatial depth and expansion. The music tends to have a tastefully engulfing presence, and often with palpable low-end content. Surround activity is rather ample, and the deep bass originates in part from the frequent use of the .1 LFE channel. Dialogue sounds remarkably neutral and quite well placed with the visuals, and also with perhaps just a hint of the original recording's slightly dated fidelity. (Perry Sun)
