If you don't enjoy the scene where these ladies are acting out the Godfather you must be made of stone.

Dated, but decent crime thriller. Tries to hard to appeal to women to justify taking this relic out of cryogenic sleep regularly. But if you can't find "Fresh" or "Juice", then this works just fine.

The four leads work well together in make for a good ensemble. The script has plenty of good moments and there are some thrilling scenes. Overall I would recommend this film.

This film wants to show that black women are more than just hood rats. It wants to show that their struggle is undeserved and their appreciation too little. It wants this, but then it goes and writes black women exactly like the ignorant hood rats that they don't want to be perceived as. It's a disservice to black women everywhere.

Got laid during the second half of this movie, but the first half seemed alright.

Fairly strong movie with a generic plot that is transformed by the characters and their development. The actors portrayed the characters very well and in a way that it is difficult, if not impossible, to be sympathetic towards them and their cause.

Inner city story of female bonding and bank robberies. Characters are interesting, but in the end they are just stereotypes, not a real people. Good acting helps a lot here. It is a forgettable film elevated by honesty, that is so rarely found in studio productions.

Not bad. Some nice performances, especially from Queen Latifah. Obviously the film could have dug a lot deeper into the individual characters but the final product is quite watchable, if somewhat shallow.
