Critics Consensus: It may not boast an original plot, but Set It Off is a satisfying, socially conscious heist film thanks largely to fine performances from its leads.

Reviews

Cinerama Film

Latoya Austin

Set It Off transcends and rewrites the classic heist movie through an all-female, all-black group of friends and their love for one another ... it is ultimately a tale of sacrifice, love and belonging .. a heartfelt ode to female friendships

...slightly erratic yet mostly engrossing...

I must admit I didn't go into this flick with high expectations. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Whether the film holds up or not, Latifah is a gunslinger worthy of her bullets.

Minneapolis Star Tribune

Rosalind Bentley

It is perhaps one of the best of the few films in the last several years to give voice to the stress and struggle of being poor, working class, black and female in downsized America.
