Absolutely amazing.
It’s slick, it’s twisty, it’s got style, and Samuel L Jackson does what Samuel L Jackson does best. He plays the nephew of the original John Shaft, working for the police, and with a personal interest in anti-black crime. Two unrelated arrests cause a rich murderer and a drug lord to team up to take out a witness to a murder, and Shaft along the way.
There’s shootouts, car chases, one-liners, bent cops… plenty to prevent the film slowing down at any point. An excellent watch.
Verdict: 5/5
