7/10
This movie is HILARIOUS!

My second favorite entry in the GCU* (right behind "Boyz in Da Hood" or whatever). A wonderful unintentional comedy that had it all: Murder, betrayal, ridiculous action sequences, a girls-learning-to-shoot montage, a steamy love scene, the dead kid brother (who was an honor student, of course), the "grieving" older sister who's pretty much over it in 3 minutes. AND an extremely cringe-worthy "Godfather" reference!

The performances are actually pretty solid, especially John C McGinley, who is chewing a toothpick in literally every single scene he's in. I assume one is supposed to feel sorry for the main protagonists and their sad circumstances but it's kind of hard, as they are complete idiots.

Anyway, if you want a genuinely entertaining movie you don't have to think too much (or at all, really) about, I recommend Set It Off

*Ghetto Cinematic Universe.
