An enjoyable but nevertheless quite silly and average remake of the classictelevision show has the new John Shaft (Samuel L. Jackson) beating up awhite racist (Christian Bale) and getting booted off of the police force.Everyone in this film is a racist - primarily the whites - and this wholeidea is way too forced. The language and violence is rough, yet the filmitself is quite goofy, with not many good scenes and only a few mediocreaction sequences. The moral is somewhat depressing: if someone wrongs you,or someone of your race, then beat them up and kill them once they reappear.Richard Roundtree's cameo helps a bit, but regardless, this SHAFT is stillonly "good" at best.
