For Cleo (Queen Latifah, in her first starring role on screen), music is above all else—so much so that that she throws away unacceptable CDs from the car she’s about to steal. Made in the mid-’90s, Set It Off flips the gender script of popular South Central Los Angeles crime stories as four close friends decide to plan a bank robbery to take back what society owes them. 1996, USA, 35mm, 123 min.
