Huh.

Nice. I just wish that Shaft sequel/reboot didn’t sound so crappy.

Anyone else click on this thinking Damon Lindelof was rebooting Superfly?

I was expecting David Hayter.

Trevor Jackson & Jason Mitchell To Star In Sony’s ‘Superfly’ Remake From Director X; Future & Joel Silver To Produce

Really happy to see Jason Mitchell landing another potential big role. He's been getting a lot of good parts since SOC, and he definitely deserves it. It sucks Mudbound was destined to be ignored by the awards circuit, though.

I don't know how they could improve on the awesomeness that is the original.

Eh...

 

[Hordakfan]

You mean remake, not reboot. Two different things.

My review

Spoiler

It's surprisingly enjoyable for the most part. It's a modern take on the original and they do a great job on making the film visually very stylish. Plot wise, I feel like they were trying to go for a Scarface vibe that has some tongue in cheek humor. The villains were straight out of a comic book and I mean that in a good way. There are some problems that I have with it. They spend too much time on scenes that have nothing to do with the plot. It drags a lot in the middle and when the plot does picks up towards the end, they wrap it up way too easily. That being said, it's a decent modern day blaxploitation movie that could have been better.

7/10
