I was pleasantly entertained by 2019's Shaft. Even though it was full of the usual buddy cop action movie tropes the screenplay felt strong. Importantly it has fun with its ideas and rides along the border to full blown genre parody staying just cool enough to 'be' a shaft movie and not National Lampoons Loaded Weapon! The lack of drama is oddly both refreshing and disappointing as characters so the never resolve their issues beyond anything superficial and are therefore quite 2 dimensional (its a Shaft movie!). So if you're in the mood for an action 'almost parody' movie then check this out.
