"Betrayal cuts deeper when it comes from the ones who stood beside you."
You don’t choose where you grow up.
You don’t choose who you call a friend.
But you do get to choose whether you forgive—or pull the trigger.
A perfect heist. A bullet that wasn’t part of the plan. And a vow that blood will be paid back in full.
Set Up begins with three longtime friends—Sonny (50 Cent), Vincent (Ryan Phillippe), and Dave—planning a quick, clean diamond robbery.
But the job goes sideways when Dave double-crosses them, shoots Vincent, and disappears with the loot.
Sonny survives. And he’s not planning to forget.
Dragged deep into Detroit’s criminal underworld, where Russian mobs, street gangs, and cold-blooded boss Biggs (Bruce Willis) battle for control, Sonny must rebuild broken trust—not to stay alive, but to settle the score.
This isn’t just about betrayal. It’s a story where “friend” is just the first person who’ll put a bullet in your back.
While the plot hits familiar beats, Set Up leans into its gritty aesthetic, fast kills, and cold justice.
Curtis Jackson carries the lead with quiet fury.
Ryan Phillippe plays betrayal with a smug face you want to punch.
And Bruce Willis? Mafia menace incarnate—calculating, detached, and dangerous.
Survival isn’t the goal. Vengeance is.
Gunfights are fast, brutal, and unapologetically raw.
Set Up doesn’t waste time with morality—it knows the game is dirty, and everyone plays it dirty.
Trust gets sold. Friendship gets shot. And whoever survives never walks away the same.
