- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: The plot is almost beside the point in a movie like 2019’s “Shaft,” which exists solely to enjoy Samuel L. Jackson’s cool quotient.
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Candice Frederick @ The Wrap
- Courtney Howard @ FreshFiction.tv
- Excerpt: What should be an irreverent send-up turns into a glorification of the good old days of toxic masculinity.
- Dan Lybarger @ Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
- Excerpt: Director Gordon Parks helped make the original Shaft and its follow up Shaft’s Big Score! more than time capsules. It didn’t hurt that he had previously worked as a photojournalist and had an eye for striking, cost-effective visuals. Tim Story clearly isn’t aiming for posterity with this one, but simply telling a dirty joke successfully seems like a lost art.

- Excerpt: Shaft doesn’t seem interested in exploring the continued relevance of its main character, choosing instead to just be gleefully “un-PC” and to celebrate rampant ammosexuality.
