Set It Off

Pros: Great performances, music and an unpredictable story.
Cons: A few action movie plot cliches (only a few though).

For some reason, Set It Off was one movie that always managed to slip underneath my radar in the ten years since its release even though I'd heard good things about it from friends whose taste in movies I trust immensely. Even though I'm a fan of ...

Pros: Exciting, action-packed, great acting
Cons: a bit predictable and melodramatic in places

I just watched Set It Off last night after hearing a lot about it. The movie features 4 female friends in LA who, for various reasons, decide that they should form a plan to rob a bank. The gripping opening scene features Stony (Jada Pinkett), a bank...

Pros: Fine cast, compelling characters
Cons: If you don't like this sort of thing, this is not the sort of thing you'll like

Action movies, like horror movies and pornos, have to be appreciated on a gut level. Good production values or acting are nice, but they don't mean a thing if the film doesn't speak to your fears and desires. To me, The Exorcist just seems kind of...

Pros: it can be pure entertainment, but also has a good, strong message
Cons: a little slow at times

Set It Off was an excellent film that dealt with a whole bunch of issues in one movie. The first time I saw it, it was a cool action movie. The second time, a moving buddy flick. The third time, a tragic tale of hopelessness and nihilism in the black...

Pros: everything
Cons: the ending

This movie is the best "chick flick" I have ever seen. The best part is that it is not just for chicks. Guys will love it too. It is nice to see the girls as the bank robbers for a change, as the tough "guys". Seeing women as the...

Pros: THIS IS GREAT
Cons: TRY IT!

I really like this movie. The reason being it showed you the real and true meaning of life. It shows what some people go through. It also taught some people a lesson to not go out and do what they did. The movie had some suspense in it which had...

Pros: Women have power, good plot, good stars
Cons: violence

I love the movie Set It Off. I saw the movie because I wanted to see some women being the bad guys for once. The girls all got treated wrong by the good guys so they decided to rebel.

All four of the girls needed money, and all reasons...

Pros: Great Actors, tons of action, a movie you get hooked on
Cons: Sad ending.... what a sad ending is good every once in a while

The movie Set It Off really blew my mind. This movie really grabbed my attention and got me attached to the characters. I thought everything was great about this movie. It had a great plot, a great cast, and a good director, so I give it five stars!...

Pros: The acting is spectacular, the characters unforgettable, and from the first to last frame, it holds my attention and keeps me waiting to see what will happen next; there's a perfectly even flow
Cons: It gets pretty sad toward the end, though not a real tear-jerker

After having seen Set It Off years ago,I decided to purchase it from Blockbuster's used movies section ($6.99, much more than at pawn shops, but it still wasn't too bad, plus I was using a gift-card, so I didn't worry about it too much). Lately...

Pros: It's a very funny movie
Cons: It gets pretty sad at times

This movie is one of my personal favorites! It is packed with every emotion you could have! Scared, Sad, Disgusted, Happy, Angry! You name it, it's here! Ya know how Most movies only makes you cry once? Well this movie will get you going! This movie is...

Pros: a great cast
Cons: more action

they picked three great actors vivica fox, queen latifah and jada pinkett. a new rising star at that time kimberly elise or just a person i never heard of before. they all have their own reasons in the movie as you watch it to rob a bank but thats where...

Pros: Great cast, plot, and music.
Cons: The ending is so sad.

At first, i was a little unsure weather to rent this movie or not, because i haven' heard much about it. I decided to anyway, and i have never been more entertained for three bucks. This film was amazing. It grabs you by the shoulders and grips you to...
