totally unexpected that i absolutely love this movie I will 100% rewatch it. the girls friendship was real I loved how they went everywhere together. the plot was so amazing. 4 females robbing banks 😌🤏🏽 I felt bad for Keith he looked heartbroken when he realised it was Stony. Tisean was so innocent I didn’t expect her to do that. Cleo was my fav movies with Queen Latifah in it are always good. She was so reckless and funny. Stony looked soo beautiful in that black dress I was so heartbroken for her when all those police officers did that “a fkn champagne bottle”. Frankie was a strong woman she wanted to keep robbing them banks. The police pmo honestly I didn’t think they would all fire at once. The cast was great I definitely recommend watching it!
