A guilty pleasure for adults and older teens.

Samuel L. Jackson, who broke out of the pack in Pulp Fiction, fits the role and his leather Armani coat as though it's tailor-made. He's the man, and we can dig it.

The primary focus of the film, and the real reason we're here, is to watch Samuel Jackson sink his teeth into the Shaft's trash-talking dialogue.

doesn't have the same historical impact as the original .... but entertaining

The potency of [Jackson's] performance is almost enough to save this Y2K update of the black private dick from erectile dysfunction, but not quite.

Packs a ton of style and solid laughs, but in the end, it's mostly a hollow experience...

[Covers] too many bases.

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.

Whenever he [Jackson] isn't on the screen -- which isn't much -- the movie flags.

Its sheer balls-out bravado is often brutally funny.

Is this a good movie? Not exactly; too much of it is on automatic pilot, as it must be, to satisfy the fans of the original Shaft.
