There will be spoilers, although calling it spoiling would be a shame.
I will now tell you everything that happens in the movie, so you don't have to watch it (trust me you don't want to).
"Setup" is an "action" flick, filled with every cliché in the book. The main character, or at least who I think was supposed to be the main character - I had a lot of trouble deciphering what the f**k was going on - is played by 50 cent. Fifty and his two palls have to make a heist, but we're given no back story as to why they need the money. The heist is cliché number one as it is one of those "Rear end car with truck, shoot stuff, say bad ass sh*t, and get out" sort of heists. The scene is also the worst f**king action scene I've ever seen. After the heist the movie goes "WE NEED SOME Italian JOB UP IN THIS HIZZAH" so Pall 1 shoots Mr. Cent and Pall 2, and takes the heist money for himself. Pall 2 dies (Fcuk yes, one less asshole to worry about). Apparently Pall 2 has a wife or some sh*t, and we have to worry about her because we see the two of them kissing in the beginning of the movie, I just want her to die as well. Of cause 50-in-da-club cent survives, not because he is 50, and bullets just bounce off him, but because of cliché number 2: He is saved by the cross he wears around his neck. Oh, and why the f**k would you only shoot fifty cent once? You need to cut him in half if you want to be sure he is dead! The scene now fades and we hear Fifty's voice, clearly spoken into a cheap studio microphone, about how god has given him another chance or some sh*t - and get used to the bible bullsh*t, because it is a theme recurring every 15 minutes in this movie. At this point I just wanted to slit my wrist and get over with it (maybe you feel the same reading this sh*tty excuse for a review, sorry). Now cliché 3 can take place: The hunt for revenge! But not before cliché number 4: The doctor who is not a doctor, because doctors call the cops. The doctor heals Fitty and tells him where he should go to get his revenge and sh*t. I'm unclear about what happens next, because at this point I had started playing word feud. Enter cliché number 5: the "muscle". The guy playing the muscle is of cause dwarfed by Half Dollar, but some how he manages to boss Fifty around. Fifty now has to attack some guys who have now got the heist money. Don't ask me how they got the money, no one knows. Mr. G-unit get's the money and of cause they now go to smoke some pot (This is clearly just to put "pot smoking" in the tag line of this movie so that stoners will watch it). At the dealer Mr. muscle shoots himself in the face, the idea is stolen from the excellent movie "Pulp Fiction". At this point I wish it was my brains plastered all over the wall (You might feel the same if you are still reading, again, I apologize). I don't know how, 'cause I had dozed off for a moment, but cliché number 6 will now appear: The hardcore gangster boss. The boss is played by Bruce Willies, but it doesn't matter as he is only in the movie for 5 minutes, his character is boring, and his lines could just as well have been written by a tween. Together Willies and birthday boy track down Pall 2. Fifty now has to chase him in another boring action scene. Fifty only shoots Pall 2 in the leg, because he is better than him. Now fifty is the hero and he sends all the money to the wife of Pall 2, how come she get's $2mil? I still just want the c**t to die. OH! And there is also some side story about how Pall 1 has a bad-ass father in prison, but it makes no sense what so ever, and I think it is only a poor attempt at fitting another high profile actor into the movie, namely the dude who plays Dexter's dad.
Summary of my summary:
The plot of "Setup" is almost nonexistent and tedious from beginning till end. There is absolutely no consistency and the scenes seem as they have just been thrown together randomly. Every character is bland, unappealing, and onedimentional. I just wanted everybody in the movie to die. The only good thing about this movie is that it ends.
If you want to spend your time more productively, google "Man swimming in septic tank" and put it on repeat for 90 mins.
