Chris Stokes changes up his normal relationship drama in this, a film where Robbin (Serayah) has succeeded in getting out of her old neighborhood, going to a good school and moving on up to the kind of job she can be proud of at a bank. Yet when she’s accused of stealing money, she learns that the people who had her back when she was young — and who she left behind — were more trustworthy than the businesspeople she worked for.
She assembles a team that includes the pregnant Camilla (Leli Hernandez), Trina (Gavin Turek), Q (Jadah Blue) and Shawna (Erica Pinkett), who took over as the leader of the gang after Robbin went legit. They all have their own problems, too. Shawna is about to be evicted and if she gets busted one more time, even their friend on the police force Kelli (Robinne Lee) won’t be able to keep her out of prison.
For as smart as Robbin is supposed to be, she plans a maskless and gloveless heist, which seems to be a recipe for going back to jail. That said, she doesn’t, so maybe she really is as smart as this movie claims that she is.
This is very much like a less depressing — and well-made — Set It Off. But hey, Stokes will be back next month with something new and I will — as always — give him another chance.
