2/5
"
Shaft
is a parody of itself but doesn't even realize it."
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
"
Shaft
2000's assaults on bad guys -- dealers, punks, corrupt cops, racists -- are motivated, exciting, and expected, and always, a function of our time."
Philadelphia City Paper

"We know we are watching a Shaft movie without even looking up at the screen, as we tune into the wah-wah funk sound of Isaac Hayes' exponential title theme ..."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews

Shaft

"Unlike James Bond, Singleton's re-vision of SHAFT removes most of the particulars that made the original character so unique."
Mixed Reviews
Gabriel Shanks
2.5/4
"Singleton shows enough in
Shaft
to indicate he can make this kind of motion picture."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"A choppy and uneven viewing experience."
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
5/5
"Sam Jackson really does justice to the role. I think any fan of Richard Roundtree's
Shaft
will be happy with this one."

Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford

Maitland McDonagh

Michael Dequina
3/5
"Se não revoluciona o gênero com suas batidas cenas de ação, Shaft consegue, ao menos, resgatar um personagem interessante."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
4/5
"The real appeal of
Shaft
is its acting teamwork; no '70s blaxploitation movie ever had such an entertaining cast."

"Even with a pro like Samuel L. Jackson in the title role, it has a hard time keeping the balls in the air."
