Hello friends, I'm here to with an interesting movie that I watched on Netflix title Shaft and I would like to share with you here.

The movie is about a New York City police detective who goes on a personal mission to make sure the son of a real estate tycoon is brought to justice after a racially motivated murder.

It starts In 1998, called in to investigate the grievous assault of someone outside a restaurant, a NYPD Detective arrests him., the son of a wealthy real estate tycoon, after noticing blood on him.

He claims self-defense. The detective notices an injured waitress, eyeing him, and unsuccessfully tries to coax a statement from her.

His friend tells Shaft that when she and him entered the restaurant, he racially harassed him. He humiliated him back and left the restaurant, pursued by him.

He looks for her, but she has left. Likewise, he goes into a seizure and dies; when he mocks him, Shaft punches him on the nose, and does it again after being threatened with reassignment to another precinct.

At the trial, the judge grants him bail of $200k. He later calls him to thank him for breaking his nose, and says he has fled to Switzerland.

Two years later, he returns to the U.S., and he greets and arrests him. His friends throw him a celebratory party where the Uncle appears, the same character from the 1971 movie, and warns him that his wealth raises his chances of acquittal.

While he is temporarily detained at police headquarters, Dominican drug lord Peoples Hernandez, whom he previously arrested, befriends him.

At the hearing, the judge has him surrender his passport and sets bail at $1 million. He resigns from the police force, vowing to bring him to justice on his terms.

He searches for her but only locates her mother, while he offers his deceased mother's jewelry to hire Peoples to go after her.

Peoples wants him to join them in his drug business, but agrees to the job provided that he sells the jewelry.

Peoples hires his former colleague officers to tail him; the pair reveal a snitch among Peoples' gang who had told him what was happening.

Disguised, him and his former partner, mug him of the money he gathered from selling the jewelry. He then plants the money on them, and makes Peoples think they are double-crossing him.

However, after getting word that he has left the scene, they follow him. Having traced a phone call, he eventually locates her, but Peoples' gang attacks them.

In the shootout, he kills Peoples' little brother. Her brothers arrive to retrieve her, but one is stabbed by Peoples. They regroup at someone's apartment, but are secretly followed by someone.

She tells him her eyewitness account of him murdering someone, he threatens her to keep silent, and then she agrees to accept a payoff provided that she disappears. Meanwhile, Peoples angrily attacks him over his brother's death.

Find out what happened next on Netflix as people's angrily want to avenge the death of their brother.
