Sam L Jackson plays john shaft the nephew of the original shaft who even appears in the film. I haven't seen the original shaft movie so I don't know witch one is better but this version is certainly good. Samuel plays john shaft a tough but cool detective who is out to stop a racist killer played well by Christian bale who is also working for a Latino gangster and drug lord. With the help from his friends shaft will stop at nothing to enforce justice. ghetto films are not normally My kind of film but I really enjoyed shaft it was a fun and well crafted film Samuel does a good performance as ultra cool john shaft and Christian bale makes a good villain even Busta Ryhmes is good as a sort of comic relief character.Direction is done well by John Singleton and good action makes shaft an enjoyable ride 7 out of ten
