Shaft

The movie shaft was very enjoyable. Right from the beginning of the movie you can tell that John Shaft (Richard Roundtree) wasn't going to let anyone push him around. The opening of the film you see Shaft walking through the street not using any crosswalks and expecting that all drivers will yield to him. Throughout the movie Shaft is working with the police but it almost seems as if he is running things, rather than him taking orders from the police. The Police chief that Shaft is continually working with is Vic Androzzi (Charles Cioffi). There are multiple instances throughout the movie where Vic tells Shaft what he needs to be doing but Shaft basically tells him that he is going to do it his own way. One scene in particular that this happens is when Vic is sent to Shafts house to bring him into the station, when he gets there he asks shaft if he is home and he tells him that he isn't. So Vic goes back to the station and tells them that he was unable to find him.
I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone who is wanting an entertaining film to see.
