SET IT OFF (1996) is a classic mid 90s hood film. This film is like a hood-melodrama because it embodies so many levels of emotions throughout. You develop strong sympathy for the characters because you understand their struggles are caused by their environment. However, there are moral conflicts to their motivations as the deeper they get in their desperation, the higher the stakes become, which leads them down a path of no return. Starring a phenomenal cast of Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah
