turot SET IT OFF WAS A VERY TOUCHING EXCELLENT MOVIE MAN YALL JUST HAS TO MAKE ANOTHER SET IT OFF OMG IT WAS AMAZING MOVIE

Fallen Eye F. Gary Gray is awesome. There's some simplicity in his directing, but he handles it with expertise. He doesn't bite off more than he can chew, and as a result, his films go down smooth.Set It Off is exactly that, a domino effect, from injustice, to pain, lapse in judgement... then tragedy.The ladies are amazing. The suspense, organic.Criticism may be found in execution perhaps, however, the story itself has motivations and complications that combine so evenly, that the movie just tugs at the right emotions.Set It Off is Off The Hook.A 7.5/10, but I'll happily Round It Off, to 8/10.

kylehaines96 F. Gary Gray the director of Friday takes a turn from comedy to drama in a film people call a rip off of The Town. I disagree because this came out 14 years earlier. This a very underrated film that sadly a lot of people have dismissed.The film is about a group of four women played by Vivica A. Fox, Queen Latifa, Jada Pinkett Smith and Kimberly Elise who rob a bank to get money for Kimberly Elise because her child has been taken away by child protective services. After getting the thrill from robbing a bank for the first time and decide to do again this time they get more money. They then want to rob one last bank this time running away to another country with the money.This is a underrated gem. The film is very well paced and has great suspense. The group of 4 leading ladies have great chemistry together and has a very nice storyline to go along with it. Definnetly check this one out.Rated R For Strong Graphic Violence, Pervasive Language, Some Sex And Drug Use.Theatrical Cut: 2hrs 1min/121min. Directors Cut: 2hrs 4min/124min.126 uses of the F-word.****/****

jlaser12 This movie was not worth watching, and I saw it for free.Yes, these women are in an unfortunate situation, but the whole movie was just stupid. Queen Latifah is not a good actor, whether she's some crazy taxi driver with a tricked out cab, or a lesbian gangster-type, she's unconvincing and at times, the overacting is almost humorous.There were so many errors and just purely unbelievable aspects to this film, particularly the criminal aspects. The reckless, stupid fashion in which they commit their crimes should have gotten them arrested after the first, maybe second robbery, yet somehow they managed to keep going and goingHow this movie managed over five stars, or how it made people cry about the characters (according to a forum topic) is beyond me. Save yourself the trouble of the bloody tears that will inevitably follow this cinematic abortion.
