Just seen: Shaft (2000)
Was sick over the weekend ("air-con flu") and mostly spend my time watching CATV when Shaft popped up.
Actually wanted to make a risk buy last time and get it on DVD - but lucky I didn't. Absolute rubbish this movie.
Lousy story and a bunch of idots jumping over the screen who can't even speak proper English. :o
Not to waste more time and words on this, rating:
* 1/2 out of 5
1/2 because Samuel L Jackson is starring but another 0.5 got deducted because it has Vanessa L Williams in it ...

I agree Reiner. Few original plot points but the guy who played the Dominican drug lord was quite funny.

There was no main adversary for Shaft, just a poncey spoilt brat who was as threatening as a sneeze, and a comical drug baron. Too much that didn't make sense came together and created farcical chaos.

Any film that can provoke strong reactions,good or bad,definitely has something going for it. I have had the DVD since December 2000 and i thought it was a very good film.Samuel L. Jackson and Jeffrey Wright played their roles perfectly.

It's not worth wasting any more wordspace on. Just my opinion off course. I'm happy you liked it, but I just thought it was......... crap.
