movie review - Set It Off

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1997.07.07

A gangster movie about four young urban black ladies who decide that bank robbing is the only viable alternative to prostitution, unemployment, or suicide. The whole thing is unfortunately predictable, but there are decent moments. Overall, disappointing.

Not recommended.
