Storyline

JJ, aka John Shaft Jr., may be a cyber security expert with a degree from MIT, but to uncover the truth behind his best friend’s untimely death, he needs an education only his dad can provide. Absent throughout JJ’s youth, the legendary locked-and-loaded John Shaft agrees to help his progeny navigate Harlem’s heroin-infested underbelly.

Critics consensus

“Decades removed from the original, this multi-generational Shaft struggles to keep its characters interesting -- or anything other than uncomfortably outdated.”

An appealing reboot.

RTFilmWeek (LAist)Oct 1, 2019

This is a very strange movie... They've taken one of the coolest, suavest characters in movie history and cast him in this multigenerational "grumpy old dad" sitcom.

The blaxploitation hero's new reboot/revamp/retcon is the most depressing movie of the year.

RTReady Steady CutAug 20, 2022

There is some much-needed comic-relief in this Shaft, but sadly this film hasn’t grown up when it comes to its treatment of women while still loving a good ’70s stereotype.
