Looks like I got some bad info. Root plays Mike "The Hammer" Reardon, not Maximum Bob.

Oh well .

Yeah, I'll not lose sleep if I can't find Maximum Bob (and from the looks of it, I cannot) since they are different characters. But sound pretty much the same.

I should just read a few Elmore Leonard books .

I hear he's pretty ok .....

The SIL reads a lot of Elmore Leonard and she says it is like he is writing every line of Justified.

From what I understand - he's a modern American master .

I'll probably get a few to kick off and see where he takes me .

I loved Out of Sight and picked up the book, but it was almost word for word from the movie so I stopped reading.

BTW, Michael Keaton plays the same character in Out of Sight as he does in Jackie Brown.

Out of Sight was good , Jackie Brown didn't grab me so much .
And I do not remember Keaton from either .

Minor character, FBI agent Ray somebody.

Agreed on Jackie Brown (which they are making a prequel to).

The film helped revive the careers of Grier and Forster, who received critical acclaim for their performances, as did Samuel L. Jackson.

Spike Lee criticized the film for its use of the word nigger, which is used 38 times in the film, stating "I'm not against the word, and I use it, but not excessively. And some people speak that way. But Quentin is infatuated with that word. What does he want to be made--an honorary Black man?"[4] Samuel L. Jackson responded to Lee's criticisms by saying that the word's use was not offensive in the context of the film, and noting that Lee has used the word in many of his films.[4] Tarantino also felt the word's use was appropriate within the context of the film, and noted that it was used in Rum Punch, the novel the film was based upon.[4] Jackson stated, "This film is a wonderful homage to Black exploitation films. This is a good film. And Spike hasn't made one of those in a few years."
