Cool black private eye John Shaft is hired by a crime lord to find and retrieve his kidnapped daughter.
Richard Roundtree was great and Shaft as a character was absolutely amazing, everything else from the plot which was thin and performances by the supporting cast was a bit iffy. The pacing was also pretty slow and despite only being 100 minutes, felt a bit longer. Still, a good opening into the franchise. 3.5/5
