-
"Nearly every frame of Shaft is intent on doing one thing: establishing its hero – private detective John Shaft – as a powerful, independent, innately good yet still devilish man in complete control of his own destiny."
- Josh Larsen, LASERONFILM -
"A hard-hitting action thriller."
- TV GUIDE MAGAZINE -
"Directed by Gordon Parks with a subtle feel for both the grit and the humanity of the script. Excellent cast, headed by newcomer Richard Roundtree, may shock some audiences with heavy dose of candid dialog and situation."
- A.D. Murphy, VARIETY -
"A hip, cool, entertaining thriller."
