a review of 辣姐妹

MANNVANUARY DEUX #19: Another really fun one, although I'll admit I wasn't necessarily prepared for how dark this movie gets at certain points, with each of the main characters (aside from maybe Queen Latifah as the resident badass) facing down some extreme setbacks on their way towards deciding to rob their first bank. Some really propulsive action sequences leavened with easy chemistry among the leads. I did find the subplot with the gung-ho crypto-racist cop (John C. McGinley) learning the error of his ways, but only after killing Jada Pinkett's little brother because of a haircut to be kind of an eye-rolling plot contrivance, but otherwise I had a good time here.
