PodBill Just what I expected

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

nadinesalakovv I reviewed this flick on my old IMDb account, and I've just finished Rewatching it after not viewing it for a while.I'll say some of the things that i said on my old account. THIS IS AN UNDERRATED MOVIE! The plot is interesting, the performances are very good, it is never boring, and as a Christian i like that God is acknowledged in this film. I don't know why most people dislike this film, whether it's just because it is an unpopular / not well-known movie or whether people wanted more action scenes, i don't know, but in my opinion Setup is a lot better than many action crime thrillers out there. A negative aspect is a lot of swearing featured. But that's Hollywood for you.

Uriah43 This film begins with three friends in Detroit named "Vincent Long" (Ryan Phillippe), "Dave Hall" (Brett Granstaff) and "Sonny" (Curtis Jackson) setting out to ambush a car carrying a stash of diamonds. However, during the heist—and for no particular reason--Vincent shoots and kills the unarmed man carrying the diamonds and then fires his pistol at point-blank range at both Dave and Sonny before speeding away with the driver of the other vehicle. What Vincent doesn't realize, however, is that the bullet intended for Sonny was deflected by a crucifix he was wearing and upon recovering a minute later has filled him with a intense desire for revenge upon the man who betrayed him. To make matters even worse for Vincent is the fact that there are other parties interested in retrieving the diamonds and Sonny has further complicated things by getting the mob boss of Detroit named "Jack Biggs" (Bruce Willis) also involved. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was an okay film for the most part which could have been better with some added suspense or possibly a little more character development here and there. Be that as it may, while it wasn't a bad film necessarily, it wasn't nearly as good as it could have been and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Average.

monalisa1964 Horrible movie. Predictable in the worst way ever. Even simple conversations don't flow. At all. Fifty Cent should perhaps stick to rapping, although I'm not sure about that, even. It feels like the writers were writing on the fly "oh darn, how do we get people to know that these two are actually family... have her say "i can't believe we're family" people always say that, don't they?". It's as if they couldn't decide what season it should be set in, sometimes its cold and there's snow on the ground, other times it looks like fall. The funeral for one of the guys happens at least a week after he dies... continuity is non existent. Acting is non existent. Plot is so thin you couldn't even wear it to bed. Bad movie. Bruce Willis looks bored and they must have paid him a great deal of money to be in it.

ebroux I normally don't write reviews on here but most reviews on here do this movie injustice. It is not nearly ad bad as the score make it out to be.Is this movie predictable? Yes. Does it have clichés and déjà-vu moments? Yes. But what did you expect with a plot that has been done 1 000 000 times before (Heat, The Town, ...). As far as I know most people know about the plot before watching a movie so you know it contains all these flaws before watching it. So don't watch it if you're like: 'this has been done.' If you're a fan of crime/heist movies: watch it!The acting isn't bad at all (but then again I like the acting of Dwayne Johnson). The actors aren't Robert De Niro or Al Pacino but they get the job done.All in all, the movie kept me entertained throughout.
