Shaft (2000)
Shaft is Back!

SHAFT is back and in a big way. Sam Jackson is perfect as the tall, smart-mouth, tough mother...watch your mouth! The audience went crazy. Cheering and laughing aloud. They loved it and so will the rest of America.
It is a little too violent in my opinion. But there are nice performances, especially from the Cuban new-comer actor who played the nemesis in it. A nice cameo from the original Shaft.
They should have left the tag line "Watch your mouth" as in the original, instead of what they used to "modernize" it, which didn't have quite the impact it could have.
And that was a nice star-making role for the Cuban actor.
It's actually a great cross-over movie. In other words even white people will like it.
