Jeff Shannon well i think the movie was well done they picked the perfect people to play the right parts i can watch that movie over and over again. Still, Set It Off effectively avoids passing judgment; its emotional complexity transcends simple notions of right and wrong, injecting vitality--and a kind of renegade integrity--into the traditions of a familiar plot. ...

Unpredictable, often hilarious, sexy and smart, Set it Off is a tough film to sell outside of its country of origin, but it's so enthralling, unpredictable and energetic in style and tone, that it deserves the widest possible audience. Yet this is by no means a preachy film, but a raw, exciting and invigorating work, skilfully put together and flawlessly acted by an extraordinary ensemble group. ... Full Review

Set It Off" also has a pleasant but predictable romantic interlude as Stony catches the eye of a Harvard-educated "buppie" bank executive at one of the branches she's casing. One of "Set It Off's" least convincing aspects is the dogged police pursuit that hunts them down as the women consider the inevitable last big job. ... Full Review
