Samuel L. Jackson is truly memorable as "Ordell," a small-time criminal. He’s involved in selling firearms, steadily building up money which he then smuggles across the border from Mexico with the help of the air stewardess—the film's title character—played by Pam Grier. When his operation begins to falter, he turns to bail bondsman "Cherry" (Robert Forster), and that’s when a complicated narrative unfolds involving numerous deaths, police officer "Ray" (Michael Keaton) becoming entangled, and ultimately leading up to a sting operation reminiscent of Paul Newman's work from 1973. The film boasts an excellent musical score that doesn’t overpower the performances, and it features sharp, understated humor; Ordell’s frequent angry outbursts effectively illustrate his personality, and Grier provides a strong performance as the resourceful intermediary who can quickly adapt to changing circumstances. Several moments—particularly those between "Melanie" (Bridget Fonda) and "Louis" (Robert De Niro)—are genuinely funny, and the various plotlines come together in surprising ways at the very end. It may well be my preferred Tarantino movie; it has momentum, a distinctive visual style, interesting characters, and a cast that functions exceptionally well as an ensemble.
