Shaft is a 2019 American action drama film directed by Tim Story and written by Kenya Barris and Alex Barnow. The film stars Samuel L. Jackson, Jessie T. Usher, and Richard Roundtree.

Plot
John Shaft Jr. may be an FBI cyber security expert, but to uncover the truth behind his best friend's untimely death, he needs an education that only his dad can provide. Absent throughout his childhood, the legendary John Shaft agrees to help his son navigate the heroin-infested underbelly of Harlem, N.Y. Besides, the locked and loaded Shaft has his own score to settle -- both professional and personal.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Even through it ignores of the source material, it stays true faithful to the novel it is based on.
 * 2) Great score of Christopher Lennertz, who composed other Tim Story films and Smurfs: The Lost Village.
 * 3) Samuel L. Jackson reprised his role of John Shaft.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) It wasn't well-recevied by critic and failed at the box office.
