Shaft [Includes Digital Copy] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray] [2019]

If you liked the last one you will like this movie.

You know that SHAFT, is a bad... Shut Your Mouth?!

We love this movie, and it looks wonderful in 4K, however according to the description, this is supposed to include the 4K UHD blu-ray, the standard HD blu-ray, and the digital copy. All of the other 4K blu-rays I own all come will both discs and digital copy. This one only includes the 4K disc and digital copy. I feel like we paid way too much for what we received, because no standard 1080 blu-ray was included. Beware of that if you plan on purchasing this title.

OUTSTANDING. What made this movie work for me is that first, they changed its theme to an action comedy, the 2000 Shaft film was a bit too serious but this one has a lot of humor and often pokes fun at itself. Because of that it reminded me a lot of the Lethal Weapon franchise. Second is the contrast between the Ghetto born and raised Samuel L. Jackson Shaft to his Politically Correct Millennial son. Lots of opportunity for humor there and naturally they milked it down to the bone.

Samual L. Jackson...need I say more? Da man did an outstanding job of portraying John Shaft! The action was good, the villains were believable, and acting was excellent! Very representative of the old blaxploitation movies of the 70s starring Max Julian, Richard Roundtree, Billy Dee Williams, Pam Grier, and others. Highly recommended due to the mashup of 70s and current day lifestyles, humor, and portrayal of today's black youths.

Honestly, I expected to be disappointed, yet, took a chance on purchasing this film. I thought in no way could it be comparable to the Shaft I grew up on as a kid. I couldn’t be more wrong, however, and am now writing this recommendation just in case someone other than myself is on the fence about this purchase. A must buy at Best Buy. My only disappointment is that Best Buy did not offer this film title on SteelBook.

Besides owning the new Shaft movies, I also own the older original one with Richard Rountree. I do like the action and humor in the new ones, and the late 60's early 70's theme of the older one. All in all these are adult entertainment movies, not for the young under 13 years, due to the language, action, some nudity, and violence. It is, the new movie, not to bad and is good if you like Samual L. Jackson acting like I do.

My sister through marriage and I went to theater to see this movie. When we weren't singing, we were laughing, grabbed me right away. Even had moments for sadness and current storylines. I knew then, it was going to be part of my library! Thanks for the entertainment! We enjoyed it, gonna watch it again over pizza tonight! (just sayin) Vee is happy now!!!
