Movie Reviews

Filmcritic.com - 10/10 by Chris CabinDespite Gray's galvanic ability with action sequences, there are very few surprises to be found in Set It Off
Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertSet It Off is advertised as a thriller about four black women who rob banks. But it's a lot more than that. It creates a portrait of the lives of these women that's so observant and informed; it's like “Waiting to Exhale” with a strong jolt of reality.
New Orleans Times-Picayune - 8/10 by Henry Cabot BeckThe action sequences deliver, as do the performances. You want these characters to make it, and their destinies are compelling to behold.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Jay CarrThe movie illuminates how the moral, economic, and spiritual concerns of its characters converge in situations that defy ethical platitudes. In less capable hands the brasher metaphors might have come across as trite, but director F. Gary Gray (Friday) generally manages to ensure that the line where technique meets meaning is marvelously blurred.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliWhat sets this movie apart from the innumerable other entries into the action/caper genre is its social perspective. Set It Off doesn't preach, but you'd have to be blind not to recognize that there's a message here about the kind of desperation that can result from the familiar cycle of poverty, sexism, and racism.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumEnough does work, and well, to make Set It Off a valuable model for a new kind of girl-pack story: one that’s not just for girls.
Austin Chronicle - 7/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenThe movie is, ultimately, a fascinating victim of its own ambitions.
Tampa Bay Times - 7/10 by Steve PersallYou've seen Set It Off several times before featuring male characters: The proven popularity of boy-dominated 'hood movies has made this female variation possible. Just the fact that four worthy African American actresses get decent staring roles gives the story a purpose it wouldn't ordinarily have.
Variety - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyInfluenced by "Thelma & Louise" and "Waiting to Exhale," F. Gary Gray's "Set It Off" is a well-crafted girls-n-the-hood actioner, with an acute social conscience and plenty of soul. A tale of female bonding and empowerment, this relevant film boasts a terrific cast, headed by Jada Pinkett and Queen Latifah in career-making performances.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Esther IvereemThe actresses work hard to give spark to some of the predictable scenes and dialogue in the screenplay by Kate Lanier and Takashi Bufford. Their fine work eclipses the fact that the film gives us very little information about most of them.
