Overwiew :Crooked cops on the take small-time drug lords sleazy informers and sadistic rich kids ready to kill -- for police detective John Shaft, it's just another night in the underbelly of New York City, another shift facing down cops and criminals who want him dead and a legal system that thrives on money, not justice. 'Shaft' is a new approach to one of the great film icons of the 1970s. He's tough, he's smart, he's cool just what you'd expect from a man whose uncle and mentor is John Shaft. When spoiled college kid Walter Wade kills a young black student, John Shaft makes the arrest. Walter skips bail and flees the country, and after two years of waiting, Shaft hauls him back into custody as Walter secretly returns to the States. But when Walter's wealthy father posts bail once again, Walter is back out on the streets and looking to put Shaft in a body bag. So are two of Shaft's corrupt colleagues as well as a Dominican drug lord who wants revenge on Shaft for humiliating him in the neighborhood he rules. For backup, Shaft has only his two closest pals: Carmen, a colleague on the police force; and his streetwise confidant, Rasaan. Meanwhile, Shaft has got to track down the one murder witness who can put all of his enemies away for good even as the toughest killers in the city close in on him.

Grade

www.plume-noire.com - : Bravo to Samuel Jackson. He�s as smooth and stylish as Bond and exudes the searing energy Nicolas Cage could before he got lazy. Jackson�s John Shaft is the nephew of the original renegade private detective of the early seventies who's now working as a police detective in NYC. He�s basically a good cop with his heart in the right place. Tragically, the producers decided to desexualize him from a booty man in the tradition of his uncle Shaft to a mere high octane ass kicker. Still, spending a few hours with John Shaft this summer is more enthralling than losing precious life energy with Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise in MI:2) or the moronically named Memphis Raines (Nicolas Cage in Gone in 60 Seconds) more...
