Set It Off (Director's Cut)

I truly felt like the actors really played their roles outstandingly. Because as a viewer in the space of amount of time of having watched the film. I believed that I even seem to know them as if they're my cool yet somewhat wicked friends. So the devasting ending of the story had made me feel so sympathetic but yet I knew what was meant to be will be. It's an extraordinary story with drastic coincidences due to a valued moral of lesson taught. This is that they're is no short cuts cause we ought to be abiding citizens by working hard. Henceforth, a citizen can only then know what to defend, protect and serve as their prize and true possession. Especially when preferably they've put all their might to earn what's rightfully deserved. The last woman standing she lost alot of close loved friends and a family member. But she'll have to live with haunted memories of what they past through for the rest of her life. Whereas with having landed with a heap pile of money it's only known to be good for buying materialistic things. Am certain she's got a whole new outlook on life for herself and she wouldn't wish the tragic event to be repeated again. So there's a much more prosperous future if only she chose the second time around to go about it the righteous way. Anyhow, we live and learn and mark my words although sometimes it can be the harder way than others have gone through. All in all let's hope we only get better with goodwill to all mankind.

Great set up, a few moments I thought were highly stereotypical, however this was 1996.It's sad to see themes in this that are replaying at the moment and seemed to force the women into doing what they did. throughout the film you get a huge sense pf their personalities and personal difficulties and why they think this is there only way out of there current situation. Overall a really great film that explores some African American working class cultural issues, ie the mother trying to work but working doesn't even afford a baby sitter. We se it repeated so many times.I would definitely say its worth a watch!

Watched this film when it first came out and loved it. Yes it has stood the test of time. Still excellent imo

If you ain't seen Set It Off what have you been doing with your life?It's a classic black hood movie. No matter how many times I watch this Cleo's part stll gets me - If you know you know.

Such a brilliant film, can't believe its over 20 years old. Good ending too. Came very quickly too. Shame there aren't more film extras as would like to have known a little more about the making of it.

Excellent movie, and still so relatable after all these years. I cant relate from personal experience, but I can from what I see in society; especially in the US.

Favourite movie

One of my favourite films ever made. A must see
