Surprisingly a bit funnier and with a more distinctive style than the first one, which was a half action, half crime comedy with no specific flavour, but with a new, fresh nigga. The second film is fresh, chatty and, of course, a traditional Hollywood cliché, but at the same time relatively apt and with a modern, uncluttered plot that playfully oscillates between family etudes and classic detective business. Samuel L. Jackson is still that snappy badass madafaka and he drops one-liners like on a treadmill. It's not for cinema, but on Netflix it's quite enjoyable, and with good speakers, many will appreciate the well mixed music in the course of the film.

The previous film was a bit like Dirty Harry, this one is more like (the third or fourth) Lethal Weapon. Very, very, very comedic and with good action scenes. Shaft's relationship with his son is much like Indiana Jones in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, except that Shaft is not Indy, of course, and so his practices and fatherly advice are a bit more, shall we say, motherfuckerish. The film has swing and looks good, and despite the somewhat hackneyed story, I wasn't bored. But the eldest of the Shaft family could have easily been brought into the plot earlier, it would have been even more fun.

On the whole an entertaining romp with more wisecracks than action, but Samuel L. Jackson steals all the scenes for himself and once again entertains. Story-wise it doesn't bring anything new, but thanks to the fast pace and plenty of wisecracks you won't get bored. 65%

I’ve never considered the tough guy Shaft particularly cool. But the black guys in America seem to love him. Samuel L. Jackson is a decent choice for this role, so I get that a sequel came out this year. But it’s similar to when Bruce Willis was lecturing his son in the fifth instalment of Die Hard – more embarrassing than fun. And it’s the same here. Decent action, good 1970s-like music, and I don’t mind the African-American approach to humor. But the son? He’d deserve some proper smacking.
