Set It Off Movie Fans Unite!

By Johnnie Longridge

Stick up a bank? Sure, why not. And the Set It Off movie cast was selected perfectly to imitate four girlfriends who, after being messed up by the system and have nothing to lose, decide to get into the bank robbing industry.

The Set It Off movie Cast includes a HOT Vivica Fox as Frankie, who was recently fired from her bank-teller job for a real BS reason and is pissed at society. She gets to kick some major bootie in this film.

Kimberly Elisa plays Tisean, a single mother that has lost her son to child welfare until she can come up with the money she needs to pay for child care while she cleans offices.

Queen Latifah plays Cleo, a raucous, pot-smoking lesbian, who is continuously up for messing around.

And super passionate Jada Pinkett plays Stony, who is in shock after the cops slaughter her brother in a instance of mistaken identity, and she simply wants the funds to get out. 'I want to be somebody who doesn't have to do this crap,' she says.

So the girls dig up guns, learn to fire, put on wigs and sunglasses that make their bad old selves look like young Tina Turner clones, and get into the bank-robbing business ' they experience success, which as you might expect leaves them wanting more.

Set It Off is funny, action packed, smart and witty. The quartetcarry out a screwy Godfather riff, and Cleo, swaggers and whoops ' she's a huge, noisy, outrageous bundle of walking black female. In the beginning, the heist business is merely a method to get away, but as their greed overtakes their better way of thinking and their chief pursuer ( John McGinley) closes in on their fantasy world, realty sets in and sends the picture in a tragic direction.

If you're looking for a show to watch with your girlfriend or boyfriend, the Set It Off showis perfect! Both men and women will like this show Men will love the action and women will understand and enjoy the bond these four girls maintain and what drives them. Women (and perhaps a number of men) will furthermore enjoy the subplot romance involving Stony and a banker played by Blair Underwood.

You can nowadays get the Set It Off movie on Blu-ray, which makes it an amazing high-definition motion picture watching experience!

The Set It Off soundtrack rocks and is a ideal fit for the film, featuring artists such as Bone Thugs N Harmony, Seal, Busta Rhymes, of course Queen Latifah and even a cameo by Gladys Knight in the song Missing You. Even if you don't like the picture, the Set It Off soundtrack alone is worth it. It's a remarkable compilation of music.
