"I can't have you walking around besmirching my name" - Shaft,

Muslims and Puerto Ricans working together in a terror plot... did Trump write this?

Shaft is in fact a bad motherfucker, but he's also bad father. In the film, John Shaft Jr. needs his estranged dad's help to find a friend's murderer and the two of them only get along so well. That's the plot. A lot of the film is about the dad trying to toughen the son up and make him "blacker" and "straighter" and "manlier" and all that stuff just felt like a horrible nightmare to be honest. The plot itself is very uninteresting and the homages to the original are weak at best. The original Shaft is a fascinating film noir with intense gender issues. This newest version of Shaft is an opportunistic money grab with a paint by numbers approach to everything in the film.

Recommended to men with fragile egos.
