Set it Off
The reason female thieves are not successful is because they only steal from shoe stores.
Smartly, the lady robbers in this action movie have branched out to robbing banks.
After losing her job, Frankie (Vivica A. Fox) joins a janitorial company where she works alongside her best friends, Stony (Jada Pinkett Smith), Cleo (Queen Latifah) and T.T. (Kimberly Elise), cleaning houses. With each woman facing their own personal tribulations, Cleo suggest that they rob banks. Successful at first, the ladies soon attract the attention of a detective and their dishonest employer who wants a cut of the profits.
A cinematic achievement for African American women, this lost gem from 1996 remains a groundbreaking caper to this day thanks to its gay-positive subtext. Social issues aside, director F. Gary Gray makes sure the action is as explosive as the message.
Incidentally, to avoid getting caught female thieves really need to wear hairnets. Yellow Light
