Movie Reviews of Shaft

Movie Review: Nu Yawks Koolest Ol Skool
Summary: 5 Stars

Ushering in the era of blaxploitation films, Richard Roundtree's Shaft was a black riff on Bogart: a hip (...) as adept at shutting down black or white criminals as he is at seducing black or white women. Superfly is a drug dealer; Black Caesar, a cold-blooded gangster; but Shaft is a bad mother on the right side of the law.

Movie Review: Classic Black Film
Summary: 5 Stars

I was amazed that this film was produced as a DVD. I glad it was ! This film shows that Black men can do more than protray a thief, or dope fiend. Shaft is a Black man that does not take any stuff from anyone, Black or White. The movie was well shot. There is action and more.

Movie Review: The Original, & still the best
Summary: 5 Stars

What can I say about this movie that hasn't already been said & in a far better way than I could. I'll just say this: It's SHAFT, man, the Original, so BUY IT!

(& the ending's hilarious!)

Movie Review: A Hollywood Classic
Summary: 5 Stars

The plot has holes and the directing and editing is choppy but on the whole this is a great film. A true breakthrough that affected both black and white films that came later.
