I ordered this one through Amazon, it's a classic and has Jada Pinkett in it...(pause for the cause)...she is fine! Ok, back to the review...I ordered it and it came within a few days which was cool cause, I really wanted to check it out. I won't go into the movie, you can read up on that if you choose but as far as my experience goes, I enjoyed the movie when it first came out and I still like to watch it from time to time. Ordering was easy and I suggest it for anyone's movie collection. YMMV. NEOSOUL06.

Iam pleased with my purchases from amazon. they always get me my orders in a hurry and I will stay a loyal customer for years.
Another flick in my collection that gets frequent watches. Set It Off features four women that finally had it with being dealt fates bad hands. They come up with ideas to rob a bank. Of course, if the job is successful. Why not try it again? I mean, that's what I did... or would do. I will tell you this, these women are fine and we can share a hot tub for real. Threesomes is cool and even four but there is always room for one more.
The acting is very solid to me and this group of bandits is impossible to dislike. The writing is good and there is a bit of character development. The action scenes are pretty good and the movie never slows down to me.
If action and drama is your thing then check this out. It can feel a bit light hearted and funny at times. But make no mistake, I know plenty of people who went to tears watching this. Also if you're a fan of R&B especially, it would be ok to pick up the soundtrack too. Now, I'm not THAT crazy about R&B. I usually keep it around just to set the mood. But the soundtrack does get spins once in awhile. Even though at times it feels like a mixed bag.
Set It Off is a brilliant film about ordinary women driven to a life of crime by circumstances beyond their control. A sibling murdered by police, a child taken away unfairly by a social worker, an abusive employer -- that and more push them over the edge.
The performances here are so wonderful, that you can forgive any flaw. You just may have seen this good-folks-gone-bad story line done before, but never quite so compellingly. Queen Latifa is a standout in the cast, and every one was outrageously good!
This is a DVD that belongs in your collection, especially if you're looking for a movie to watch with friends. It's the kind of film you'll talk about for quite some time. Don't miss it!
"The Best Movie I've ever seen"

A great movie with a great cast, this movie shows what can happen when you push a black woman to her last straw. From the beginning to the end this movie shows how easily one can be profiled as a criminal just by the company she keeps. Like how one of the characters were surrounded and killed by the SWAT team just because he had the same hair cut as one of the bank robbers. And he was a soon-to-be college student. There is a lot of emotions shown in this movie when the it takes you into each characters personal life and thier reasons for robbing the bank. Don't get me wrong there are no reasons for committing a crime like a bank robbery but their stories are compelling. The ending is sad, even though there was a bright side to the ending. It kind've teaches you a lesson about friendship and material things.
The acting was fantastic, you almost felt like the characters were real individuals(of course that is the point of acting). Queen, Jada, Kimberly, and Vivic really make this movie come to life. I would watch this movie all day everyday, just because it's so great.
