It's fun and a good deal better than the fondly remembered original.

It's hard to remember so unapologetically flamboyant a movie.

The story becomes a mess about halfway through.

John Singleton may have been the youngest director ever to be nominated for an Academy Award, but I wouldn't exactly call him a natural-born filmmaker.

What really clicks are some of the stars.

If nothing else, Shaft is spicy fast food.
| Original Score: B | Jan 1, 2000
The current version tries awfully hard but with little success to create a Shaft for this day and age.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000
Few stars of late have displayed more sheer joy in a mainstream project than Jackson does here.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
Whenever he [Jackson] isn't on the screen -- which isn't much -- the movie flags.
| Jan 1, 2000
The surprise is that the movie doesn't just rely on Jackson. Shaft has everything.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000
This new Shaft has the stuff to grab its audience in a big way, maybe even opening up a new franchise.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
Sleek, urgent, knowing, gleefully profane and above all ultra-cool, Shaft blows into the summer movie season like a breath of fresh air.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 1, 2000
[Covers] too many bases.
Full Review | Jan 1, 2000
Shaft pushes our buttons which means it's something that has been next to unheard-of this year: reasonably rousing screen entertainment.
