Review of Set It Off

Set It Off (1996)
1/10
Terrible, don't even bother
15 June 2008
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 going

How 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.
