Most helpful review Shaft

  • A Total Insult To The Original!!

    Rated - 0.0 stars  
    By wikkidsmyle (438 reviews) from Newmarket , 23 Feb 2007

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    What on earth possessed Samuel L Jackson, Christian Bale and Toni Collette to star in this pile of garbage? The storyline is juvenile TV detective show; the racism worse than in the so-called 'blaxplotation' film it is supposed to 'homage'; the swearing is grating and the soundtrack from David 'James Bond' Arnold is awful. Coning Richard Rountree to guest star as 'the randy uncle' is the final insult. AVOID!

  • Shaft's first name is john?

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    Shaft is a film that does exactly what you expect of it

    a mixture of action and adventure with a dose of tension and the odd stereotype Shaft is certainly worth one watch but at rare points will this film surprise you in the direction that it takes

    Samuel L Jackson and Christian Bale both play their parts in making a decent action film however this is a film we've all seen many times before and will probably be placed somewhere in the middle of both their careers

  • Bad re-make

    Rated - 1.0 star

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    Richard Roundtree must have been embarrassed to be in this very poor re-make. Average story/plot, excessive foul language and little action make for a bad night in.

  • Disappointing

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By a customer from Northolt , 26 Aug 2008
    Love Samual L and love Christian Bale but the film was a let down...Could have been more car chases, more explosions, more gratiutous violence but not this time. Christian was good as the bad guy this time, he played the part well, but I think they made Samuel's part too mild and he is capable of so much more.

    Still a recommended watch but don't expect too much.
