Movie description
Samuel L. Jackson stars as detective John Shaft, a new-generation "black private dick who's a sex machine with all the chicks" in this stylish, action-packed update of the classic blaxploitation trilogy (SHAFT, SHAFT'S BIG SCORE!, and SHAFT IN AFRICA) from the early 1970s. Shaft's nemesis this time around is Walter Wade Jr. (Christian Bale), a cocky, blue-blooded white kid who commits a violent hate crime but still manages to skirt the system. When Wade forms an unholy alliance with powerful Dominican drug lord Peoples Hernandez (Jeffrey Wright) along with two dirty cops from Shaft's own precinct, Shaft turns in his badge to dispense justice on his own terms. Luckily for him, the original Shaft (Richard Roundtree, who is this Shaft's uncle) is around to help out, along with Vanessa Williams as a trustworthy cop, Toni Colette as an eyewitness to Wade's crime, and rapper Busta Rhymes as Shaft's man-on-the-street Rasaan. Director John Singleton (BOYZ N THE HOOD, HIGHER LEARNING) appears in a brief cameo, as does original SHAFT director Gordon Parks; the only creator missing is Ernest Tidyman, who wrote the novel that started it all. And SHAFT fans, take comfort--Isaac Hayes's remake of his classic theme is as funky as ever.

Original Theatrical IN THEATRES: JUNE 16, 2000 (NATIONAL) Shaft's favorite hangout is the Lenox Lounge, a famous Harlem nightspot built in 1939 that was recently renovated with the help of the filmmakers. Original SHAFT director Gordon Parks makes his cameo appearance seated at a table in the Lenox Lounge. This is the second time rapper Busta Rhymes has worked with Singleton; he also appeared in HIGHER LEARNING. Football great Lawrence Taylor has a cameo in the film as Shaft's friend Lamont; Isaac Hayes, performer of the Shaft theme, also appears in the film. Accents were a challenge for the cast members: Christian Bale, a Brit, had to perfect the delivery of an American preppie, while Jeffrey Wright researched and studied to play a pitch-perfect Dominican.

Rolling Stone - p.133 - Peter Travers (06/08/2000) "...The always dependable and indomitable Samuel L. Jackson as John Shaft...is unmistakably the star..." New York Times - p.E12 - Elvis Mitchell (06/16/2000) "...Mindless fun, a great supporting cast and a classic piece of wardrobe....Make a point of grabbing SHAFT off the video store shelf." Movieline - p.102 - Shawn Levy (12/01/2000) "...SHAFT scores by lacing ba-da-boom action with social pertinence....[Wright] lets fly with a smashing, funny-scary tour de force..."

Los Angeles Times - Kenneth Turan (06/16/2000) "...Not just a retreat of the old movie, but SHAFT as more complicated than before, and with well-observed supporting characters..." Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert (06/16/2000)
