It was not nice to see a third iteration of the original Shaft after the second one, particularly since the plot and dialogue is in no way representative of the original. Richard Roundtree's Shaft with the creative team of Silliphant and Parks, cuts a very sharp edge and lets the action speak for itself with a stellar soundtrack. This version merely puts "Shaft Jr." in your face and delivers a canned action movie experience. Just because a movie is "non PC" doesn't make it an instant classic like Trumpians here have stated. The original was extremely "non PC" but of course those who are hell bent on pushing a Trumpian agenda ignore that and use reviews to bash everyone which has absolutely nothing to do with the film. Now all of this makes me appreciate the Shaft Trilogy of the 70s FAR more. There are just no Richard Roundtree, Moses Gunn or Frank Findlay performances out there anymore...
