Shaft
Who delivers ten times out of ten? Samuel L. Jackson is Shaft, the man and the movie. John Singleton (Boyz 'N' The Hood), directs this gritty action packed thriller.
With Uncle John Shaft (Richard Roundtree reprising his original role) as mentor, it's no surprise that today's Shaft is the coolest dude and the hottest action around. To stop a racist killer (Christian Bale) Shaft's got to track down the only eyewitness that can put him behind bars (Toni Colette). As Shaft closes in, so does the danger. Armed with attitude and up against corrupt cops and venomous druglords he's out to make crime pay up.

Funny, action packed, suspenseful, but missing some key plot elements. The villian is not a real threat or intimidating and there is no history on Shaft's background. The movie tends to cool off after the first half hour and gets pretty slow, yet it is still a good watch.what a shame. - movie_goer
Shaft has been shafted into a shame. NOT surprised Samuel L. Jackson does that effect on most movies.
I distaste actors who don't think forward about what quality is to entertain the Viewers- rather Jackson cash's in on anything even if it was determined to be a obvious flop...
It's as if they gave up without a care.Seriously unrealistic - keek156
I'm sure it was cool back in the days with the old movie. Samuel L. Jackson has been in all kinds of movies and this was definitely a miss. If you're into watching an unrealistic movie where one guy changes the world, this is the one for you. For me, I watched the movie and forgot everything about it, except that it sucked a little bit. Kinda like drinking an aspertame drink and only having the gross aftertaste. Yeah.
