Plot Summary
Who delivers ten times out of ten? Samuel L. Jackson is Shaft, the man and the movie. John Singleton ("Boys 'n' the Hood") directs this gritty action-packed thriller. With his uncle John Shaft (Richard Roundtree, reprising his original role) as his mentor, it's no surprise that today's Shaft is the coolest dude and the hottest action around. To stop a racist killer (Christian Bale), Shaft's got to track down the only eyewitness (Toni Collette) that can put the perpetrator behind bars. As Shaft closes in, so does the danger. Armed with attitude and up against corrupt cops and venomous druglords, he's out to make crime pay up!

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: If nothing else, Shaft is spicy fast food.
Fresh: This new Shaft has the stuff to grab its audience in a big way, maybe even opening up a new franchise.
Fresh: Finally, someone has remembered how to remake a slick, bang-bang action movie.
Rotten: 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.
Customer Reviews
Good movie, poor quality download.
Such a good movie. However, it's such a shame that after paying $17.99 to download the movie, it freezes after 32 minutes of watching it.
Rent only?
This movie is an awesome remake. I would love to buy it.
