Critic Reviews
-
Emanuel Levy, Variety
Influenced by Thelma & Louise and Waiting to Exhale, this well-crafted Girls N the Hood has social conscience and soul; Queen Latifah gives a career-making performance that should made her a big Hollywood star
-
, USA Today
Overlong, overdone and overwrought, the narratively challenged Set It Off gets off on exploitation shock and social-conscience schlock in equal measure.
-
Chris Cabin, Filmcritic.com
Despite Gray's galvanic ability with action sequences, there are very few surprises to be found in Set It Off
-
Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com
One of the rare movies sporting great action sequences and a ring of truth.
-
Larry Carroll, Countingdown.com
A tense, original caper film full of excellent performances, particularly by Queen Latifah
