Review of Set It Off

Set It Off (1996)
7/10
No real surprises here, but still a fun watch...

The good: serious and decent acting by great female actresses. This movie takes it's time to get to know the 4 female bankrobbers, which is a good thing. This movie is firstmost about the CHARACTERS and not about shooutouts or macho behaviour. Quite refreshing to see.

But it is not a girly picture, no way, some of the action is pretty funny and wild, but the action is only a minor part of this movie.

The bad: this movie walks the same path as ALL the other HEIST movies, so dont expect any surprises here. The only new thing is that motherhood and some lovey dovey romance and lesbians are mixed into this female bankrobbers story. And that is a mix we dont get to see much...
