Revisiting ‘Shaft’ in 2019: The Father-Son Comedy That Cops Out
The 'Shaft' remake fails to capture blaxpoitation's rebellious spirit.

Nancy (Elena Koshka) just learned she’s pregnant from her step-dad Frank (Steve Holmes). She has flashbacks to when she had sex with both her step-father and her step-father's ex-boss. Frank walks through the door and hears the sounds of Nancy and his wife Kate (Sarah Vandella) fighting about what happened. Kate asks if all that is really true. She wants to believe him but he really hurt her. If he does again, she's going to leave him. Frank brings Kate to orgasm, but is unable to cum himself. He needs to go talk to Nancy and resolve things between them… but there's a part of him that secretly wanted her all along. That still wants her.

After the 2018 surprising hit "A Quiet Place" brought something fresh to the horror genre, the announcement of a sequel may have been disappointing to some. A lot of the time, a sequel to an already successful movie is no where near as good as the original. Yet, John Krasinski once again shows that he's much more than Jim from The Office.
