Hmmm....a sequel to the extremely popular "Shaft", bigger-budgeted, made just one year later...do you smell "cash in" here? Unfortunately, this is nothing more than a run-of-the-mill crime drama, redeemed only by a few good (if overlong) action sequences. Richard Roundtree still is perfect as Shaft, though (his best scene: the look he gives to a white cop while ordering "black coffee"). (**)
