| By Any Means Necessary!! (by davesmooth) |
| Great Movie. Gripping tale of 4 women who turn to robbing banks to make it out of ghetto life. The 4, played by Jada Pinkett, Not married to Will Smith at time of filming Vivica A. Fox, Dana Owens Better know as Queen Latifa and newcomer at the time, Kimberly Elise all work legally until they figure that crime will pay them more than honest work. Blair Underwood is excellent as the love interest for Stoney Pinkett with his Harvard education mixed with a street knowledge. Pace of the movie is good, and it all flows very well. Excellent movie. Worth renting from Blockbuster. |
| The S.W.A. Sistaz With Attitude (by dee.reid) |
| "Set It Off" is about four African-American women Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox, and Kimberly Elise who decide to go out and rob a few banks. They don't rob banks for sheer enjoyment or because they have nothing better to do. No, they rob them because they are getting back at "the system" that they feel has screwed them over in their lives. Here are the reasons: in the opening bank robbery sequence, Frankie Fox , who was at the time a teller, was fired simply because she knew the suspect who robbed it; Stony's Smith younger brother, Stevie was <more> |
| This Movie Will Blow You Away (by Critic-12) |
| I rented this movie expecting to see just another average gang related film about the Ghetto, but I was proved wrong. It ended with my eyes wide opened and my mouth to the floor. Set It Off is a very Dramatic film and the performances by the four women were done perfectly. Set It Off reached my heart and all my emotions. It starts off light, but ends deep and touching. There is no possible way you could leave from watching this movie without your eyes being flooded. -A heart-filled film that deserved more publicity than it received. |
| Meet some of your less positive feelings (by ThereAreManyZathras) |
| A great movie for those peoples that like to empathize with a movie. If you let yourself have the same feelings as the characters in themovie have you might have strong emotions like: despair, feelingtrapped and injustice. You might even find, that choices you can't comprehend are suddenlyvery logical. For peoples that don't let their feelings participate in watching themovie. I imagine this movie is less appealing. |
| The female version of "Dead Presidents"! (by GOWBTW) |
| If you thought "Dead Presidents" was something, you ought to see "Set It Off"! The accounts is quite similar to DP only the ladies are friends and never been at war. One account is desperation. The women need to make more money to survive. Then one of the ladies whose child swallows some cleaning product. Then when more money is in demands they do the ultimate: Rob a Bank! They would use these masks, and perform the hold up. However, one of the ladies finds love, and I liked the En Vogue track "Dont Let Go Love ". Jada Pinkett, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox, and <more> |
| Classic Action Drama (by jaguar_alignment) |
| I remember that i saw this movie when it launched in 1996. The appealing performance of the characters introduced a new area for action drama. The performance of the women Is marvelous and the story line Is breath taking.I watched this movie again yesterday and the story never gets doll. It's safe to say that this Is one of the greatest action 'movies out there.I'm looking forward seeing more of these dramatic action movies, since they portrait a more realistic image and get you to empathizes with the characters - even when there villains!Many compliments to the directors and <more> |
| A Well Done Sleeper (by Lexuses71) |
| "Set it Off" is another brilliant little B sleeper by the talented F. Gary Gray. What sets this film apart from your routine crime caper/heist flick is that it features some very impressive and strong performances by Jada Pinkett-Smith one of her very best roles and Quen Latifah. Vivica Fox, Kimberly Elise and the underrated John C. McGinty were also quite effective in supporting roles. Blair Underwood, who I lilke, was sort of wasted as reverse eye candy. The love story sub plot was a bit if a distraction, only in a minor way. But at the core of this film was the bond between <more> |
| Surprisingly good (by Sandro-LN) |
| My first impression was "Gangsta flick with chicks." And, to some extent, that's what I got. But there was a lot more, and I was deeply impressed with the realism, with one exception. The exception comes near the end and I won't give it away, but it involves police officers taking shots at a suspect with a bus full of people in the background.One of the recurring themes of this film is how innocence and good intentions can turn into a nightmarish reality.A bank teller is confronted by a robber that she knows from childhood. She can hardly believe what is happening, and she <more> |
| Powerful, Moving, Very underrated! (by mikebrownemail) |
| I turned on this movie while I was fixing breakfast the other day, just so I could have something to watch while I was cooking, and I found myself completely drawn into it. I fell in love with the characters. The acting from each of them was fantastic. I saw every connection and felt like I knew all of them on certain levels. Jada is amazing in this movie. I feel that this film is her strongest. She moved me to tears on more than one occasion. The movie as a whole is one hell of a beautiful creation, thank you to all who were a part of it, you got your message through, and I loved and took to <more> |
