    With Jackson leading the way, Shaft has style, punch, and street cred. It's a hot cool update.

    It's a bad sign when audience enthusiasm peaks during the credits sequence.

    This may be the first movie that runs under two hours and yet has no attention span. Characters are abandoned and picked up; narrative threads dissolve before your very eyes.
