Summary: "Set it off like Vivica!"...(Notorious Big)
Comment: I ordered this one through Amazon, it's a classic and has Jada Pinkett in it...(pause for the cause)...she is fine! Ok, back to the review...I ordered it and it came within a few days which was cool cause, I really wanted to check it out. I won't go into the movie, you can read up on that if you choose but as far as my experience goes, I enjoyed the movie when it first came out and I still like to watch it from time to time. Ordering was easy and I suggest it for anyone's movie collection. YMMV. NEOSOUL06.

Summary: Kick a55 movie with a decent soundtrack
Comment: Another flick in my collection that gets frequent watches. Set It Off features four women that finally had it with being dealt fates bad hands. They come up with ideas to rob a bank. Of course, if the job is successful. Why not try it again? I mean, that's what I did... or would do. I will tell you this, these women are fine and we can share a hot tub for real. Threesomes is cool and even four but there is always room for one more.
The acting is very solid to me and this group of bandits is impossible to dislike. The writing is good and there is a bit of character development. The action scenes are pretty good and the movie never slows down to me.
If action and drama is your thing then check this out. It can feel a bit light hearted and funny at times. But make no mistake, I know plenty of people who went to tears watching this. Also if you're a fan of R&B especially, it would be ok to pick up the soundtrack too. Now, I'm not THAT crazy about R&B. I usually keep it around just to set the mood. But the soundtrack does get spins once in awhile. Even though at times it feels like a mixed bag.

Summary: Not to be missed!
Comment: Set It Off is a brilliant film about ordinary women driven to a life of crime by circumstances beyond their control. A sibling murdered by police, a child taken away unfairly by a social worker, an abusive employer -- that and more push them over the edge.
The performances here are so wonderful, that you can forgive any flaw. You just may have seen this good-folks-gone-bad story line done before, but never quite so compellingly. Queen Latifa is a standout in the cast, and every one was outrageously good!
This is a DVD that belongs in your collection, especially if you're looking for a movie to watch with friends. It's the kind of film you'll talk about for quite some time. Don't miss it!
