Get Rich or Die Tryin’

AT THE END OF THE DAY, WHAT WILL YOU HANG ON TO?

getrichordietryinAfter a drug deal gone bad, young Marcusā€™s 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 Eminemā€™s 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 canā€™t carry a movie, especially not one as mediocre as this, following a familiar pattern.Ā 

2005-U.S. 117 min. Color. Widescreen. Directed byĀ Jim Sheridan. Screenplay: Terence Winter. Music: Quincy Jones, Gavin Friday, Maurice Seezer. Cast: Curtis ā€œ50 Centā€ Jackson (Marcus Greer), Terrence Howard (Bama), Joy Bryant (Charlene), Bill Duke, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Omar Benson Millerā€¦ Viola Davis.

Trivia: The filmā€™s title is also that of 50 Centā€™s 2003 debut album. Samuel L. Jackson was considered for a role.
