Shaft

An appealing reboot.

This is a very strange movie... They've taken one of the coolest, suavest characters in movie history and cast him in this multigenerational "grumpy old dad" sitcom.

The blaxploitation hero's new reboot/revamp/retcon is the most depressing movie of the year.

[Shaft is] the worst and most problematic film of 2019-or any other year, for that matter.

It stinks to heaven.

Middle generation Shaft looks good roaring around in his souped-up Monte Carlo SS. It's too bad the characters as a whole didn't have a better vehicle.

There is some much-needed comic-relief in this Shaft, but sadly this film hasn’t grown up when it comes to its treatment of women while still loving a good ’70s stereotype.

There's a great soundtrack... it's funny, lots of action, everything you love about the Shaft franchise.

To dissect this film too deeply would give toxic masculinity and blatant homophobia their time in the sun.

It's easy enough to laugh at the brazenness and the raunchiness.
