One person can keep a family together and, when that one person is gone, a family can be torn apart. Best African American female movie known to man. Good ending too. 3 of 4 people found this review helpful.
Gangster Movie Guru PODCAST - ep.004 - Set it Off - YouTube Love this classic chick flick,not as amazing as I remember when I watched it in my early twenties many moons ago but still a really great watch with fantastic acting from the four lead females. Set It Off is one my favourite ever films. In South Central L.A., a misguided 20-year-old African-American man, a "baby boy", faces the commitments of real life.

It is not as if they just randomly rob banks it all has a pretense and not a knee jerk reaction or robbing a bank just because. Its cheesy, cliched and at times the acting is pretty bad but even after all that put it together and its fantastic :) I loved it!! The synergy, compassion and comradeship of the women is beautiful but greed leads their lives into destruction! Based on Terry McMillan's novel, this film follows four very different African-American women and their relationships with the male gender.

This is one of my favourite movies, have watch many times and will continue to enjoy i thought Set it Off showed how versatile Queen Latifah is when it comes to acting. I just watched the whole video in blu-ray on my ps3 and I must say I am impressed because there were a few scenes when the true dolbyhd sound kicked in and you can hear and see all of the action.

This film brought tragedy, sisterhood, survival, and friendship together in such a masterful way. I watched this film years ago, and dint rememeber that much about it. It may show 4 women committing crimes.
She showed a different side of herself and it paid off. Never gets old. john c mcginley is also in the film he is always very intense and a great add to the cast. If you want a movie that has good acting and good plots behind, but aren't as graphic as other hood movies this is a good hood movie. All of the acting is on point, especially the acting by the four leading ladies. To you Queen Latifah well done. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote.

But it also shows why and how they chose to deal with life. Kudos to director F. Gary Gray One of my ALL time favorites...Highlights the stark differences in American cultures along with the misogyny, cultural hostility of law enforcement and finally a testament to how Black life can be so fragile...not all, but so many! Love love love it.
The story was a good one and even brought a little tear to my eye at the end. An observable, fast-talking party man Darnell Wright, gets his punishment when one of his conquests takes it personally and comes back for revenge in this 'Fatal Attraction'-esque comic ... Available through 08/31. One of my favorite movies of all time Might be long,but i am typing,as i am watching tonight,on B.E.T.
