Product Description

Product Description

Four women take the law into their own hands and try to get some pay-back by robbing the city's biggest banks in this riveting action drama starring Jada Pinkett, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox, Kimberly Elise and Blair Underwood. Directed by Gary Gray.

DVD Features:

Amazon.com

Even when it misses a dramatic opportunity in favor of generic action, Set It Off benefits from a sharp understanding of its well-drawn central characters. They're a quartet of young African American women in Los Angeles (Jada Pinkett, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox, Kimberly Elise), all struggling against a system that seems designed to prevent them from realizing their dreams. The movie establishes their plight with credible attention to emotional detail, making their decision to rob banks believable enough to give the ensuing plot its inevitably tragic momentum. Cowritten by the screenwriter of What's Love Got to Do With It?, the film conveys genuine compassion for its characters, and the ensemble cast is uniformly strong--especially Queen Latifah as a brash lesbian whose fate is as certain as her forceful attitude.

Set It Off expresses a real sense that these women have been close friends for years, and that gives the film additional impact, even when their transition to crime and violence feels somewhat forced and superficial. A romantic subplot involving Pinkett and a social-climbing banker (Blair Underwood) is too contrived to be convincing, and director F. Gary Gray (Friday) tries too hard to combine hard-hitting action with social relevance (a weakness shared by Gray's following film, The Negotiator). 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. --Jeff Shannon

for me dana owens aka queen latifah is everything, the whole cast is phenomenal down to the mute girlfriend who never speaks lol. 4 inner city woman try to find a way out after some tragic circumstances, so they in turn start to rob banks. john c mcginley is also in the film he is always very intense and a great add to the cast. there's some laughs and cries to be had, overall a great film

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible ending,but so intensely sad,CLEO is mi fave then francesca and frankie.
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2014

Might be long,but i am typing,as i am watching tonight,on B.E.T.
i love set it off,i really love my nj/nyc tri-state area fave,Queen Latifah,what a very talented woman she is,and god bless her with her future success in her forties,still young enough to do it all,but she rocked EACH part in this movie,she is so talented.
I do agree with most here,
good to see Majority agree what a fascinating,realistic,incredible(easy to watch over and over,tears and all movie)

Extreme-sad ending,however:
Considering how Cleo live her life,well that was her fate/destiny some will say.i do agree i am giving this awesome,incredible Movie,quite realistic for many,who are so "desperate"at times,might feel he or she has to go this route,and or shoot out with policia,etc. i do not condone none of it,but the movie was imho real.and for that i am giving it five stars.Kimberly Elise,was a bad actress in this,serious.But tee-tee make me cry only when she die like that. I was shock by that.in 90s,still am! she was so sweet and quiet one,shy but then again she did "run with such kind,like crazy,but imo loveable cleo"so i can pretty much see why the writer,did it this way.(as the ole saying goes,it is all about who a woman, or man hang around that shall feasibly decide one's fate)
and we all know this is true,for most,at times..
I think that Kimberly Elise, is 1 of the leading black actresses/and of ALL movie actresses of all time,she REALLY improve since this film.
.
IMHO best part is really hard to choose from,but if i have to?
it is the end.
.
Such a realistic "very"sad ending,make me cry from the scene where,we see(with the most emotional beautiful music entire ending at when we lost first,Tee Tee,and little stoney close her eyes,thinking of the best time she has had she say or 1 of them in her life,the very talented & handsome"blair underwood..."(keith)she was actually crying and laughing,realizing it is all over,probably not for just tee,who died,but francesca/cleo etc. I was crying definite, buckets seeing the emotional scene with cleo,shooting at the cops,and realizing,"ok she is NOT coming out of this alive,not even on her best day!"Would have not been realistic.she dies in a hail of gunfire,bold some say,yes. But i was praying for her,to just be able to make it out,but i knew deep down she is dead.

.Frankie,"whose literally bold enough to put a gun to the cop head/neck,get shot in the street,attempting to make a run for the bus,where we see sweet stoney look"right in the cops face!"(VERY)good acting on both parts,the music come on,(that i love)
and he literally let her escape "from it all."IMO?that was nice premise on what he did to her brother,for whom him,and or his officers killed,in cold blood.
.Tee not having a chance to raise her child,and procure custody from C.P.S. who (worker played by AMEN star,and wayans brother co-star Anna Marie Horsford) i just felt so sad when she die like that.
.
Best part was a happy ending for at least,little stoney,who cut off her long pretty braids,and smile at the end with the cash the jeep
and flew on outta town!(with all the money)and her beautiful silk long dress,from the 1 date,i am sure she will never forget,who would! lol with "keith."He sure did adore/love her,i believe,but we did not get to see more of them,and yet the ending make alot of sense to me anyhow,even if her friends were all gone to heaven,too early but how they all "chose to live"expound the reason as to why only"1"really did have,a "happy ending after all."She smile driving away,"thinking of the good times"crying.laughing.etc.
and imho?That was a good ending,and i would not,ergo have it any other way!I will re-order,i love it so much,never sick of it.

Cameo by DR.DRE,way too real,he fit the part perfecto.adios.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sehr guter Film, aber die technische Umsetzung auf der DVD grauenhaft.
Reviewed in Germany on January 22, 2018

Die Wertung bezieht sich NICHT auf den Film an sich!
Ich nehme an, dass durch das Alter des Filmes und dem technischen Stand der Dinge von 1996 man einfach irgendwie die VHS auf DVD gebrannt hat und deshalb das ganze so schlecht ist.
- der Sound in deutscher Sprache ist grauenhaft, unsere Dolbyanlage hat trotz zusätzlicher Einstellung nicht kompensieren können dass die (deutschen Syncr.-)Stimmen so leise sind und die Hintergrundgeräusche überproportional laut, dass man es nicht normal schauen kann
(letzlich lief es gerade so annehmbar über den PC)
- die Sprache wechselt an vielen Szenen ins englische Original, welches von der Qualität an sich aber auch nicht so gut ist
- an der Bildqualität kann man (aufgrund des Alters) natürlich nicht so viel kritisieren wobei es auch da heutzutage technische Möglichkeiten gibt
Grundsätzlich ist der Preis für diese Qualität nicht gerechtfertigt, lediglich der Film an sich ist es allemal wert.
