All of the women were "hoodrats", (term borrowed from an IMDb boards user; it isn't my own... ) which was a shame, because they didn't need to be. Why does the only black main character who has any kind of class or sophistication have to be a GUY?! (In a film that's primarily about four women, no less!) I'm pretty sure it does a great disservice to the many black women out there who do manage to be articulate whatever their circumstances happen to be.
... and don't tell me that if they weren't hoodrats then they wouldn't be robbing banks. People at the end of their tether do desperate things. (John Q. for example; again a guy.)
The film was good and enjoyable, but they had a big chance to give us some intelligent female characterisations for a change; only with the dialogue they gave them to speak, they blew it.
