    This comedy is either a hit-or-miss

    Actually kind of fun. Sort of a funnier version of "The Last Boy Scout." But a little less violent. Nothing special, but just like the poster says, "explosive action...funny and entertaining."

    Noone will ever claim this is a great movie, but it is a "good" movie with some points of hilarity, a cool hero, a spunky sidekick, and a decvent smattering of action. Keenen is the best of the Wayans to me since he is the only one who can take acting seriously.

    I still believe Keenan Ivory Wayans is the funniest of the 4 Wayans siblings. Even after watching this movie so many times, I still laugh at his sarcastic witt whenever he encounters either his adversary or he's around Peaches and her "girlfriend" Waymon. I think he could of play...( read more)ed a good Shaft. If only he would of continued making movies of this type.

    This is one of the best movies he has ever directed.
  • June 9, 2009
    Not bad action-comedy of Keenen Ivory Wayans' film. Jada Pinkett's animated performance as Shame's fast-talking girl Friday is one of the few outstanding elements in this otherwise so-so spoof of blaxploitation pictures.
