The Shaft (2001)

AKA: Down

Starring: Naomi Watts, James Marshall, Eric Thal, Ron Perlman, Michael Ironside, Dan Hedaya, Edward Herrmann

Premise:
An express elevator at one of New York's most famous landmarks starts to malfunction and causes multiple mysterious deaths. An elevator repairman and a reporter try to get the cause as what is happening.

My Take:
There's a little bit of everything tossed into this flick and not of all it works well together either. Surprisingly the movie has aged well since it was made.

Rating: In the middle
