Shaft Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
A guilty pleasure for adults and older teens.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
The current version tries awfully hard but with little success to create a Shaft for this day and age.
Variety
Robert Koehler
Few stars of late have displayed more sheer joy in a mainstream project than Jackson does here.
New York Times
Elvis Mitchell
It's hard to remember so unapologetically flamboyant a movie.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
The story becomes a mess about halfway through.
Seattle Times
Erik Lundegaard
Whenever he [Jackson] isn't on the screen -- which isn't much -- the movie flags.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The surprise is that the movie doesn't just rely on Jackson. Shaft has everything.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
If nothing else, Shaft is spicy fast food.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
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.
Film.com
Tom Keogh
A decent popcorn movie.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Bob Longino
What really clicks are some of the stars.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
Unlike other summer movies, the action here mostly is as real and rugged as bullets and fists.
USA Today
Mike Clark
Shaft pushes our buttons which means it's something that has been next to unheard-of this year: reasonably rousing screen entertainment.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
Sleek, urgent, knowing, gleefully profane and above all ultra-cool, Shaft blows into the summer movie season like a breath of fresh air.
Film.com
Robert Horton
[Covers] too many bases.
Associated Press
David Germain
A slight but entertaining update.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
Finally, someone has remembered how to remake a slick, bang-bang action movie.
Salon.com
Charles Taylor
Its sheer balls-out bravado is often brutally funny.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
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.
