It is a common piece that you can see on TV anytime. 3 of 5 stars.

No chance. I'm no huge Tarantino apologist, but it's leagues ahead on basically every level to your regular TV drama. What do you find so common about it?

One of my top ten movies. An Elmore Leonard plot that towers above mere studio scripts, QT tweaking it, a great cast, well acted. It's a clever subtle movie that you can watch again and again for both memorable screen gems and nuances that you haven't noticed before. If you can't see the difference between this cine masterpiece and TV junk, you should stick to watching TV.

I am watching it right now. Over rated? Well, I don't recall the critics or fans loving it when it first came out so I don't think I would say it was over rated. Not my favorite QT film, but I love the cast and the soundtrack.

If anything, I think it's underrated.

Yes actually. I think you may have gone a bit far with your "on TV anytime" statement, but I do think its overrated by IMDB standards. The dialogue was often top notch, and the camera-work was some of Tarantino's best, but everything else let me dowm. Didn't really find much reason to invest in any characters, and the plot was sluggish & doesn't justify the running time. The climax was a big letdown as well. But I think Jackie Brown falls into that weird category on IMDB where its the overlooked film by a big name director, so it gets alot of the "this is the underrated masterpiece" treatment from people who want to stand out.
