:Four Black women, Stony, Cleo, Frankie

A new type action movie mixed well with female characters and
black taste.
|
| point: |
Cleo is manly and lesbian who plays
tough. She suggested bank robbery to live together with her
girlfriend. Reasons of each woman to rob a bank are those of
woman and black people, and sad. On the other hand, their attitudes
toward freedom are gracious and beautiful. At the last scene,
their friendship helping each other is moving. Thrilling action
scenes are also great

The fact that Wachoewski brothers who are famous for directing
