F. Gary Gray directs Jada Pinkett Smith, Queen Latifah and Vivica A. Fox in this crime thriller where four women from ‘the projects’ start robbing banks.

Rather trite wish fulfilment / tragedy heist movie that has lashings of melodrama yet feels inconsequential. The characters go through wild personality swings from scene to scene and yet all the fronting doesn’t really motor the downfall. Top RnB soundtrack though.
