It's pretty gritty, there are some excellent lines, and there's quite a bit of sex, which livens things up nicely because it's so casually done and fits in perfectly. The story isn't anything great, but for Shaft, it's precisely the right reason to go on a proper shooting spree, which also happens at the end.

Given the reputation that precedes this famed blaxploitation piece, I expected more. The film is based on a supposedly terrible novel, which may explain things. I was expecting more fun, more B-movie flavour, more violence, nudity and action, which came to the fore only at the end, when the film culminates in a 15-minute chase (which swallowed more money than the rest of the movie together) with two cars, a helicopter and a speedboat. Otherwise, there’s not much going on, really. Now, I’m not saying Shaft is slacking off. In one lean, macho scene, he picks up a bimbo in 10 seconds, then shoots down a helicopter with a shotgun, but otherwise… the expectations were high, but went unfulfilled.
