About this movie

Who delivers ten times out of ten? Samuel L. Jackson is SHAFT, the man and the movie. John Singleton ("Boys 'n' the Hood") directs this gritty action-packed thriller. With his uncle John Shaft (Richard Roundtree, reprising his original role) as his 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 (Toni Collette) that can put the perpetrator behind bars. 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!

Ratings and reviews

Who the man Sam that who. Oh I'd love me a piece of him well... all the pieces. Completely unpredictable unlike other movies nowadays I don't know why I'm surprised I like any film he's in. Annnnddd they kept the original theme.... can I have a shaft 2 please? Come on I asked nicely Google.

Nick Fury is chasing after the insane Patrick Bateman to the man, the myth and the legend Isaac Hayes beautiful R&B music throughout this film.

Love this movie but why isn't it in the proper aspect ratio?
