Sorry to see him go. Great, understated actor. kysrsoze Oct 2019 #3

He'll always be Max Cherry (Jackie Brown) for me FakeNoose Oct 2019 #5

His only flaw was that he did not leave town with Jackie at the end Submariner Oct 2019 #8

...was that Samuel L. Jackson's character was so reliant on swagger and intimidation, and Max Cherry wasn't having any of it. He COULD have been intimidated, he COULD have come back with the same and more, but he just didn't leave any cracks open. He was so centered and oblivious to outside drama, even though he let his guard down for Jackie. IT was a masterful performance that MADE the movie, in my opinion.

(even though for me Jackie Brown was fantastic on so many levels). I'm a huge Quentin Tarantino fan and Max Cherry is one of my favorite characters ever -for the reasons you mentioned.
