Latest entry in the titular detective series is pretty standard stuff, but worth a look for followers of the character and the actors involved. The focus this time is on John ‘JJ’ Shaft, III, a timid analyst with the FBI who’s forced to team up with-and clash with the “old school” methods of his father John Shaft, II while investigating the death of a close friend.

It’s a waste of time to get into the intricacies of the plot because most of it makes little sense, and is not of any real significance considering the goal is to watch and enjoy the banter between the actors, plus throw out lots of in-jokes and a colorful soundtrack to liven things up. Usher lacks charisma (possibly by design) but Jackson is in full badass mode which makes for more enjoyable moments than you’d expect, and Roundtree is also on hand as an added bonus for devotees of the original series. While it’s somewhat fun to see three generations of the same character on screen, there’s nothing really special here for them to work with.

Coming 19 years after Samuel L Jackson’s big-screen Shaft, and almost five decades after Richard Roundtree’s original portrayal, this sequel’s attempt to modernise fails epically. Following John Shaft Jr, a nerdy-cool FBI data analyst with huge Daddy abandonment issues, this outing neither excites on a primal level nor subverts in an amusing way.
Jessie T Usher is mediocre as the new-age iteration of the titular badass; he shares decent chemistry with Alexandra Shipp as long-time besties with feelings, but he lacks the requisite charisma. Jackson returns as Papa Shaft, still violating human rights, showing women half his age a good time and walking out in front of traffic, but his swagger can’t disguise that he’s actually too old for this sh…aft business. The action is dreary, the violence is mean-spirited and the sporadic moments of flashy filmmaking – slow-mo bullet streams, etc – feel desperate and very early 2000s. Morally, tonally and narratively all over the place, Shaft is neither style nor substance. A hard pass.
