Shaft [Blu-ray] [Region Free]

A really quite enjoyable fun movie from 2000, that contrary to the common mistake made by most people is not a remake or reboot of the 1971 original but a sequel as the original Shaft Richard Roundtree appears with Samuel L Jackson title character being the nephew of Shaft. It's a fun cartoonish violent movie that I think got it's 18 rating due to all the F-bombs of which they are about 165. Jackson plays the titular character with smooth panche, with able support from Vanessa Williams Det. Vasqez, taking on racist Christian Bale yuppie (who I believe has only played a villian twice in his career both in this same year the other being American Psycho). I like Jefferey Wright small time gangster Peoples Hernadez but he sometimes seems to come off as black version of the character Bencio Del Toro in the also excellent "The Usual Suspects". The movie holds a justifiable 68% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, both Roundtree and Jackson will be returning to their roles 19 years on in this Summer's Shaft (2019), so it remains to be seen if they can bring it again to another level considering they are going for the more comic route this time. Although the fact it is going straight to Netflix is a bit telling as to whether it will come off more as tv movie. The thing I don't get is if these movies are sequels to the 1971 original why is the both 2000 and the 2019 movies simply called Shaft, why not vary the title a bit as it's not very original sounding.

This is a badass action crime thriller all the way, made in 2000 based on the 70's character, you don't need to see the original to enjoy this, the casting is perfect in this movie making it even more of a modern day classic, Samuel L Jackson is perfect as shaft, a great actor who never fails to entertain, when a man is murdered outside a club one night the killer gets off free by some minor technicalities and his high up contacts but shaft decides he will stop at nothing to put him away!! Christian Bale plays the killer (the villain you love to hate) one of his very early roles as a big star and a great one it is too, the movie has a cool soundtrack of course, plenty of great dialogue, some witty comical lines from Jackson, there's plenty of good action and bloody shoot-outs, its an overall easy going cool movie that's a must see especially if your a big Jackson fan.Blu-ray has a great pictureFeatures include a couple of featurettes and a trailer,Region B, 99-mins, 2000

Typical late 90s/early 2000s action type flick, which isn’t a bad thing. With a cast like Samual L Jackson, Christian Bale, and Toni Collette you can’t really go wrong.

Good film, good presentation.

I love this movie,so I bought it for myself as an Xmas gift.

I found this film very entertaining however, it is a Black film probably for a Black audience. If you heard some of the language used coming from a white mouth and you were PC, you would faint with shock. I found it entertaining because, while I am sympathetic towards the issues experienced by black people, I don't go down the road of virtue signalling and having recovered from the shock of some of the language, I managed to relax and just enjoy the film which as funny in parts. I then went on to watch some of the sequels.

This is a reasonable film with reasonable plot, however it's full of swearing (every other word) and the music sounds like a throw back to 1970s. Whilst I would watch it, I would wait for it to be shown on tv for free.

Excellent service. The package arrived on time and in excellent condition. I really enjoyed the movie and all of the extras. This was Samuel L Jackson at his finest in his first appearance as the iconic Shaft under the director John Singleton. As you'd expect the soundtrack is outstanding and the collection of actors are stellar. This has a gritty and highly entertaining storyline and of course, the original actor in the first ever movie, Richard Roundtree. Truly one for your collection.

Samuel Jackson's classic!!
