Excellent a film as it may be, don't expect Shaft to be a deep, intellectual picture. The movie truly is a Hollywood popcorn flick.

A mawkish, overly-poignant and clichd movie that mindlessly bounces along without ever making a clear statement.

Mission: Impossible 2

Kimball's work is always appealing to the eye yet never too noticeable so as to draw attention away from the movie's plot.
