 DVD.net : Set it Off - DVD Review
Set It Off is from Gray, a film made some years prior to that 2003 box office hit, and is one film that features some pretty realistic action as well as a slightly formulaic, simulated and amateurish screenplay.
Set It Off is actually a pretty decent movie, even if it scrapes one barrel in originality and overflows the other barrel with clichés.
This is definitely worth a rent before purchasing, yet still forms a night’s entertainment where you want to watch something out-there, obscene and something that will really set it off, even if it turns your brain off in the process.

Set It Off, which chronicles the attempts of four young fl women to take control of their lives, may sound like it's treading a similar path to the one blazed by last year's tepid
The concept of four fl action heroines makes for a welcome change in a genre that is dominated by: (a) rugged white males with a perpetual five o'clock shadow, (b) rugged white males who speak English with an accent, and (c) rugged white males with the acting ability of a fence post.

 Stefan Hertmans - Book Review: Intercities
Both the desire and the absence of an explicit or transcendent goal for Hertmans' mystories is obvious, but it is perhaps in the substitution of a conclusion by the final chapter named Check-Out that the impossibility of any absolute truths or coherent resolution becomes most clear.
Like the Chinese encyclopedia that set off Foucault at the beginning of his The Order of Things, this too-brief section contains unconnected fragments that were too small to incorporate into previous chapters.
Their lack of explicit connection to almost any issues raised in the text are an appropriate alternative to closure, yet we should expect a more diverse spread of terms as exist in Bataille's Encyclopedia Acephalica.

 Movie Review - 'Set it Off'
I braced myself to be disappointed by Set It Off, based on its stereotyped trailers.
The setting is South Central Los Angeles, but the feeling is Dust Bowl - the doomed characters, their excitement and sense of invulnerability, the inevitable collapse, the gory deaths, the despair of the fugitive cornered in the final chase, even a bullet-riddled car.
The story is at its weakest early on, when it is explaining why these four characters, three of them struggling to hold jobs and raise children, would turn to violent crime.

"Set It Off" is about four African-American women(Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox, and Kimberly Elise) who decide to go out and rob a few banks.
I don't think you should really call "Set It Off" an action movie since there isn't really action until the ending.
