Shaft
JJ, known as John Shaft Jr., is a cybersecurity expert with a degree from MIT, yet the truth about his best friend's untimely death can only be learned through an education his father alone can give. Long absent from JJ's upbringing, the legendary John Shaft agrees to mentor his son as they navigate Harlem's heroin-infested underbelly.

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**

I loved this movie

The plot is thin. You’d be best served to come in when Roundtree does. He is Shaft. Sam’s 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? That’s 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 can’t believe it’s over. It felt so fast!” You then watch it bleed out for another hour.
