SHAFT (MOVIE REVIEW)

source

Shaft is action thriller and comedy movie. It was directed by Tim Story, written by Alex Barnow and Kenya Barris. The movie starred actors which includes Samuel L. Jackson who is one of my favorite, Jessie T. Usher, Richard Roundtree, Regina Hall, Alexandra Shipp and many others. The movie more or less tries to compare young to old generations. JJ(John Shaft Jr), a cyber security expert with a degree from MIT, wants to solve the mystery behind his best friend's untimely death, to do that he needs an assistance only his father can provide. A father who he never knew but heard about then became his only shot at solving the mystery. Although a sequel to the Shaft of 2000 but a bit different in terms of the comedy added to it.

The cast was an interesting one, Samuel L. Jackson (John Shaft) deserves some accolades for his amazing act, for those of us that may have seen some of the movies he starred in like....Iron man 2, Spider Man Far Away From Home, amongst others you would know what i mean. He was also good at delivering his comedic roles alongside being a badass dad. Although Samuel L. Jackson was not at the starting scenes but when he showed up it was no longer a film but a movie, there the action started. Jessie T. Usher (John Shaft Jr) as a modern day man who his mother has succeeded (well almost) in keeping away from the life of his father, with a "No violence" methods carried his role in a more simple manner than i expected. His character could just be omitted and you might not actually feel his absence, aside the fact that he was the one who brought his father to the screen who in turn did basically everything, the shooting, the fighting, talking to the bad guys and all, John Shaft Jr was just transforming to being a Shaft by act. So with the experience from his father during the period of solving the case he then became a true Shaft not just in name but in actions.

I cannot forget to comment on Richard Roundtree (John Shaft and), wow he looked so cool with his white beard, a badass grandpa i thought lol. Looks old but very energetic and so entertaining in delivering his roles. Regina Hall (Maya) also spiced up the movie alongside Samuel L. Jackson, a very hilarious duo at that. A very nice movie to see, a bit predictable here and there but nothing off the chart. The Shafts outfit was great, three of them together on a mission was fun to watch. As the movie went on, it all came together, the bonding of son and father, son and grandpa.

An entertaining movie to watch. If you are looking to see a movie and you haven't seen this you should add this up on your watch list.

Thanks for reading friends, have a great day.......
