Is the Town a remake of Set it Off?

Rating: 5/10 (19 September 2010)

Okay not saying it wasn't good but you must see Set it Off which came out in 1996. You can watch it online or rent it. The Town is 14 years too late. Set if off has the same characters with almost the same exact story lines. Ben did a great job directing it and acting in it. The other characters were great as well. The movie is an intense ride. But when its been done, its been done. I wonder if they considered the similarities before making it. I also heard that the movie is based on a true story but still. Set it Off wasn't a small film. It was nominated for several awards. Sorry I don't get how this is something new when Set It off was far more original and interesting. I gave the movie a 5 because of originality or lack thereof. But again it is a good movie to see but the hype is a little much.
