Get rich or die tryin movieicon
The best and most powerful scene in this film is when someone slips a razor blade in his solitary cell in order for him to kill himself. Sheridan did a good depiction of how selling drugs is an easy escape, a way to make you feel like a man. The strength in this film is derived from it's black and white presentation of the "dope game" and how for fifty it was either sleep in a cellar, or buy a Mercedes. My question is, why doesn't this make it a bad film? And to make one last comparison, this film way out did anything 8 Mile attempted (much more of a social critique). People said Jarhead was not a war movie, and the Get Rich or Die Trying had to little to do with rap. The criticism of this film reminds me of that received for Jarhead.
PS: to the token that apologized online for 50 Cent instead of writing an actual review on the movie, grow some sack will ya? You and your fraudulent Caucasian friends deserve each other. I'd rather beat you senseless when I see you in public you gutless cowards! Go fawn over the ever-so-overrated Quentin Tarantino like the spineless groupies you are.
And as far as the sheep go, I wouldn't waste time trying to reason with you. Just goes to show you the bandwagon mentality of these pseudo intellectual rodents. There are a lot of great movies that never made the Top 250. And as far as acting goes last time I checked, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Leonardo Dicaprio, Brad "Musty Arm" Pitt(overrated beyond belief), Chuck Norris are not real actors! To all of you reasonable people out there do not allow the circus freaks on IMDb to tell you what counts for quality cinema because you will be disappointed every time. These weirdos think that defending movies that were rightfully panned like Freddy Got Fingered, Nothing But Trouble, Batman and Robin, The Musketeer, The Black Dahlia makes them hip and cool and not pathetic posers in dire need of a life. Its a shame when people allow the nut-swallowing groupies that run amok on IMDb dictate to you what is quality movies. One might question the authenticity of the story being told in this movie(this being the movie's real flaw) but as far as entertainment goes I enjoyed myself.

The movie covers his childhood as well is how he became to be a rapper. Bill Duke is pretty good as the boss of the organization 50 links up with. 50 plays himself and there are good performances from Terrance Howard as well as Joy Bryant who plays 50's girlfriend in the movie. Get Rich Or Die Trying is loosely based on the life of Curtis Jackson and based on that reason its pretty good. Im not fond of 50 as a rapper and as a person but that is a lousy reason to give this movie bad reviews. If you hate 50 so much that you cant even write a partial review on this movie don't review it. Everybody is bashing 50 Cent but very little of these rants posing as reviews actually speak about the actual movie. Barely conscious after he's been throttled and beaten, Majestic gurgles, "I love you, man." Everybody does.IMDb reviewers are real sackless sheep. Unable to convince his onetime protégé to step back, Majestic goads him into a fight. After he assaults one non-Marcus associate with a machete, Majestic arrives for Marcus' big opening at a local club.
On finding that Marcus is still alive, Majestic demonstrates the film's most hysterical love. Before it ends, the movie returns to Marcus' shooting as Marcus lies on an ER surgery table. The partners' release from prison leads to a collision with Majestic, who feels possessive toward Marcus as his "hardest working" dealer. His search for the father he never knew, which leads to relationships with outsized men, including brutal Majestic ( Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and cellmate Bama ( Terrence Howard), who becomes his rap music manager. The film opens with Marcus' shooting - based on 50 Cent's famous "nine times," then segues into flashback of his youth. Luckily, he's surrounded by friends, family, and would-be killers who repeatedly declare their love for him. GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN' centers on Marcus ( 50 Cent), whose mother is killed when he's only eight years old.
