4.0 out of 5 stars Good heist film with an unexpected twist., August 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Diamond Shaft (AKA Diamonds) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

No, this isn't a Shaft movie. The name was changed. It is a great bit of 70's cinema shot in the middle east with low quality production. Beyond that the story is average, but it's the twist in the end that gives it two extra stars.

This review is from: Diamond Shaft (AKA Diamonds) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Richard Roundtree's character isn't even named Shaft.He is actaully named Archie.This is a story about a jewel-thief released from prison / trying to do the right thing. A person would think by the title 'Shaft' that it would be as good as the trilogy;this isn't the case. Put your blaxploitation spending cash back in your wallet and walk away. This is garbage and chances are your vcr will break in the process.

Who wrote this script? What a terrible way to end the Shaft dynasty.

In one of the scenes Ninjas are on on top of huge boulders shooting arrows at Shaft. Shaft manages to catch one of the arrows and throws it back at the Ninja, fatally killing him. Can you believe that? The Batman television series has better actions scenes. I've seen better acting in Fast Actin' Tinactin!

Do yourself a favor and buy a Dirty Harry movie in lieu of Diamond Shaft.
