Needs to be updated...a la Jason Bourne...


I would like to see a heavy characterization film based on the Shaft character...

He is supposed to be the answer to James Bond, but even the Jason Bourne flicks want to rise up past the typical Bond films that have become repetitive...

They tried to update Shaft, back in 2000. Wasn't all that big of a hit.

Yeah, but they needed a better, tighter script...

The director--John Singleton--does a good job when he is given a good script, but even he is becoming somewhat of a hack nowdays...

...I thought he might update the character and give more depth to John Shaft, but it turned out to be a routine action pic...

That was perhaps the most intelligent post I've ever read.
