This movie may be the greatest film ever or the worst, I'll never know because I'll never watch it. The title makes me sick. The fact that some people actually believe in this mantra is sickening. It's what drives people to become famous at any cost. Like shooting up a school or driving your car through a crowd. Change the horrible title and I'll watch it.

most of the people who gave this a bad review are probably the same people that gave eminem's film 8 mile a good review. both films depict the life's of the two rappers and in my opinion this film is better because 50 Cent has been through MUCH more in his life than Eminem has. the only difference is that 50 cent is black. People hatred for 50 cent and or maybe gangster rap probably have given them a tainted view on this film. it is not glorifying drug dealing etc like other films such as American gangster with denzil washington or film series such as breaking bad does, it is just merely telling a story of someones life. The fact that most of it is a true story should be enough to help people sit back and learn about the upbringing of one of the biggest stars this century. not a great film but no where near terrible.

For all the people saying this movie is awful and 1 out of 10, you clearly were blindfolded throughout the movie. No, it wasn't the greatest movie I've ever seen, but it's a representation of Curtis Jackson's life. The content in this film gives you a full representation and understanding behind the lyrics in his songs, and what they were about. Before watching this movie you can't get the full picture for what he's actually rapping about. His life story puts every other artists life story to shame. 50 Cent actually did a great job acting in my opinion. From a man in the ghetto, to a rap artist, to a actor, it's an inspiration. If you can't appreciate this movie, god help you.

GET RICH OR DIE Trying'It was alright, but nothing special i'm afraid.The film is about a drug dealer who is trying to make it big as a rapper.It stars 50 Cent as the drug dealer, Marcus. The story was not very gripping. It was OK, but it could have been a lot better. I was told before I saw this that it was a biopic about 50 Cent, but I don't think this is the case. I am sure there are similarities, but i am sure that there are some fictitious moments too.The acting was OK(ish), in fact, i thought 50 Cent is a better actor than a rapper.There was one comedy moment in the movie that made me laugh though... there is a scene where Marcus gets attacked in the shower by a knife wielding criminal and it turns out to be a fight... it is funny watching tough guys slipping and sliding all over the place while trying to kill each other. Haha!Also, i gotta say, there is a scene where Marcus gets shot that is really good. The effects were impressive in that scene and was quite gruesome.I really preferred 8 Mile... that film is a lot better than this. This was just a major disappointment.I will give this film a 5 out of 10.Disappointing movie...For more of my reviews, please like my Facebook page:http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204
