Quote:
Shaft is a 2000 American action-crime film directed by John Singleton, and starring Samuel L. Jackson, Jeffrey Wright, Christian Bale, Pat Hingle, Toni Collette, Busta Rhymes, Vanessa L. Williams, and Mekhi Phifer. This film is not a remake of the 1971 film of the same name, but rather a sequel, since it features Richard Roundtree briefly reprising his role as the original John Shaft. Jackson's John Shaft character is the nephew of the original John Shaft. The film received fairly positive reviews and opened at the number one position at the box office when it debuted June 16, 2000.


Having never seen the original, I can't make a comparison, but I liked this one a lot. Samuel L. Jackson was great. B+

One of Samuel L Jackson's coolest roles and Christian Bale isn't bad either. Good 70s-oriented action, nice dialogues, but overall it could have been done much better.
