Watch Set It Off For Free

Highly Overrated But Still Good

good back-story, and good acting

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

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

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.****/****

I watched this film a long time ago (aprox 10 years or so) and liked it then. I remembered it the other day and decided to watch it again. The second time around was not pleasant. The acting is 'so,so', the plot is illogical, unreasonable and predictable.The acting...I'm sure it wasn't a stretch for those actresses to play those characters. The plot...there's no way in hell those women would have gotten away with the first robbery much less the 2nd. (side note: Why did TT not realise that even if she came up with a load of money for her court date they would ask where she got it and she would have no logical answer! Ding, Ding...we have a crook!). It horribly stereotyped black women in saying basically that the only way black women can 'beat the system' or obtain a large amount of money was to steal it and not use their intelligence or other resources. It plays too much on sympathy b/c all of them die in the end (bar Jada) but it's not sad (you're thinking 'They were so stupid; they deserve to die). You just don't really care about the characters unless you're a shallow person.I can't believe this film rates over a 5.

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 heart every part of this wonderful piece of work.
