GOOD-BYE, MR. SHAFT

Not good-bye, surely, since this one man exemplar of another kind of black power and sexual puissance will surely outlive us all. This time he's hired by a Senator with Vice Presidential ambitions to protect his two youngsters and keep them under wraps in London where he has a whole new underworld to contend with, including the razors. Maybe a little less humor this time but the pace is staggering and that Shaft is almost too macho much to be true.
