CRITICS OF "Shaft"

Combustible Celluloid

Shaft quickly splits into two different movies, and only one of them fully succeeds.

May 26, 2006

Resource

Chicago Sun-Times

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.

January 01, 2000

Old School Reviews

doesn't have the same historical impact as the original .... but entertaining

June 03, 2013

Resource

Seattle Times

Whenever he [Jackson] isn't on the screen -- which isn't much -- the movie flags.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Common Sense Media

A guilty pleasure for adults and older teens.

December 28, 2010

Cinema Crazed

Packs a ton of style and solid laughs, but in the end, it's mostly a hollow experience...

June 01, 2013

Resource

Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)

Samuel L. Jackson, who broke out of the pack in Pulp Fiction, fits the role and his leather Armani coat as though it's tailor-made. He's the man, and we can dig it.

June 28, 2004

Resource

Looking Closer

The primary focus of the film, and the real reason we're here, is to watch Samuel Jackson sink his teeth into the Shaft's trash-talking dialogue.

December 06, 2004

Resource

Orlando Sentinel

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.

January 01, 2000

Film.com

[Covers] too many bases.

January 01, 2000

Salon.com

Its sheer balls-out bravado is often brutally funny.

Mr. Showbiz

The potency of [Jackson's] performance is almost enough to save this Y2K update of the black private dick from erectile dysfunction, but not quite.
