For this 9-movie pack collection, I dive into some of Sam Jackson's cop action dramas & buddy movie romps:
How many of these have some expertly timed darkly comedic wit and genre homages?
Which of these are parodies that are WAY too silly for their own doing despite Jackson giving it his all?
How does Jackson handle the various serious, popcorn and campy movie tones while still doing throwbacks to his Tarantino era persona?
All that and a brief overview on the hysterical cable TV edit of one of his famously foul-mouthed one-liners!
