AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT WILL YOU HANG ON TO?
After a drug deal gone bad, young Marcusās mother is murdered and he grows up looking to become a gangsterā¦ but music is also an important part of his life. 8 Mile (2002) and its story of how a troubled young man becomes a successful rapper was based on Eminemās life. This movie tries to do the same for 50 Cent, aided by skilled talents like the In the Name of the Father director and a Sopranos writer. Strong supporting cast, but unfortunately 50 Cent canāt carry a movie, especially not one as mediocre as this, following a familiar pattern.Ā
