Shaft

Actors:  Samuel L Jackson, Jeffrey Wright, Christian Bale, Busta Ryhmes, Toni Collette

Rating: 6 out of 10, some cool action but too much posturing between action.  Bale is out of his depth here as a bad guy – trying to be too bad – no nuance to his part.  Jackson is great but they don’t let him do enough to establish his “coolness” – if that makes any sense. 

MVP:  Jackson as usual is supremely cool as Shaft
