Review of Shaft (1971) by Daniel H — 23 Jun 2007
What makes Shaft impressive isn't the mere stylization of the blaxploitation era it depicts. Rather, the movie is actually a bona-fide private-eye flick, with serious attempts at portrayals of race-relations in New York.
The lack of thoughtless stereotyping manages to elevate this movie past it's blaxploitation roots.
