About this movie

Deal with this: The only breaks you get are the ones you take. Jada Pinkett-Smith, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox and Kimberly Elise star as four African American women living in a Los Angeles housing project who--pushed to the edge--resort to violence to escape poverty in this searing, intimate and action-packed look at real life on America's mean streets. Now get out of the way as the ladies Set it Off.

Ratings and reviews

Took me forever to watch this, was recommended to me a long time ago and I'm so glad I know this movie now! I'll be recommending to all my friends.

Men are the ones who started of robbing banks, and then later women does the same. All the reason is the national government system has messed up with people's life and keep alling with the rich citizens who have trust funds and lots of money. For anyone who lives in the rich parts of Beverly Hills (Los Angeles), Buckhead (Atlanta), or (Upper East Side) New York City the lower urban districts everyone lives need the type of funds to help their communities and lifestyles.

There were good times and bad. But that ending had me in tears. First Lil Stevie was gunned down then "T.T." went done by rent cop then "Cleo" going out like the OG she is, last its was "Frankie". Every time I watch this I cry.
