Unnecessary and forgettable but still somewhat entertaining flick that excels due to Samuel L. Jackson, while Jessie T. Usher shows he's a really bad actor. Nothing special but still managed to beat my low expectations. 3.0/5

More Shaft than you can handle.
JJ, aka John Shaft Jr., may be a cyber security expert with a degree from MIT, but to uncover the truth behind his best friend’s untimely death, he needs an education only his dad can provide. Absent throughout JJ’s youth, the legendary locked-and-loaded John Shaft agrees to help his progeny navigate Harlem’s heroin-infested underbelly.

I loved this movie

The plot is thin. Youd be best served to come in when Roundtree does. He is Shaft. Sams not Shaft and neither is this kid.
This film is 2 hours. Not worthy of 2 hours. Getting in with Roundtree would give you ~40 minutes? Thats probably the right amount of this Shaft. Definitely one of those movies where at 1 hour something happens where you think this was really good. I cant believe its over. It felt so fast! You then watch it bleed out for another hour.
