He may be a cyber security expert with a degree from MIT, but to uncover the truth behind his best friend’s untimely death, JJ—aka John Shaft Jr. (Usher)—will need an education only his dad can provide. Absent throughout JJ’s youth, the legendary locked-and-loaded John Shaft (Jackson) agrees to help his progeny navigate Harlem’s heroin-infested underbelly. And while JJ’s own FBI analyst’s badge may clash with his dad’s trademark leather duster, there’s no denying family. Besides, Shaft’s got an agenda of his own, and a score to settle that’s professional and personal.
Keeping up with the why theme of the weekend. Was there a demand for a continuation of Shaft and an expansion of the lineage that I was unaware of? Like the movie was a decent watch but really don't understand the need for this movie to be made. It really ends up just kind of there. It even seemed kind of watered down and even campier than they had in the past.
I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this. It's not a bad movie but its just kind of there. You will forget about seeing this 10 minutes after you do.
