All Girls Crime Movie “Set It Off” Turns 27

This year marks 27 years since the release of “Set It Off”, released on November 6, 1996 and I feel super old. It’s so hard to believe this movie came out in the nineties because it’s such a timeless film.

The action and crime film, starring Jada Pinkett, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox, and Kimberly Elise as an all female gang of bank will go down in the history books as one of the hood classics. The film also had an memorable supporting cast including rap legend Dr Dre.

There really hasn’t been an all girls film of this nature and this dope that has been released since. To me, this is one of those films you hope they don’t try and replicate or remake. Some masterpieces should remain untouched.

Which character did you relate best to? I would have to say I definitely relate most to Vivica’s character — Frankie.

If you have never seen this film or you simply forgot how dope this film is check out the trailer.
