Movie Reviews of Shaft in Africa
Movie Review: Richard Roundtree. Superstar.
Summary: 4 Stars
There's a great scene in the movie. A representative of a group trying to break up a slavery ring in Africa tries to recruit Shaft by saying his family was brought to America to pick cotton. Suavely dragging on a cigarette Shaft retorts that his family was in tobacco. This is a good fish out of water vehicle for Shaft. Richard Roundtree further cements the title character as a classic screen figure not unlike Bogart. The story is a good one and keeps your attention throughout. The flaw to the film is the slick direction by John Guillermin("The Towering Inferno", "King Kong") that is a sharp contrast to the panache Gordon Parks brought to the previous two Shaft entries. Nonetheless, "Shaft in Africa" is a piece with it's predecessors.
