Sheridan gives this a pacing and depth one doesn’t often find in “urban” product, though Jackson, reliving his own life traumas, is handily upstaged at every turn by Terrence Howard...

Get Rich's story, inspired by Jackson's life, simply doesn't gel.

Tupac, you can sleep easy. Richard Pryor, watch out.

Sheridan's surface vividness is applied around a vacuum

People behind the movie will no doubt get rich, but it's a shame they didn't try harder to make a better picture.

50 Cent dies for our sins in disappointing screen debut.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jan 9, 2007

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 21, 2006

...a distinctly tedious piece of work.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jul 15, 2006

Marcus sells dope. Marcus buys a gun. Marcus buys a microphone. Marcus goes to prison. Marcus gets shot. Marcus makes a movie about his life that no one goes to see.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 15, 2006

Embora limitado como ator, 50 Cent tem carisma para segurar o filme, que acaba falhando no em funo do rapper, mas de seu roteiro convencional que soa como plida imitao de 8 Mile.

A better film than "8 Mile". An impressive debut for the coin-coined music superstar.

Its real danger is that it sets a precedent for the director; if the price is right he's on board.

If it's a rap-related rags-to-riches flick you want, check out 8 Mile or Hustle & Flow, both of which are ten times better than this.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 19, 2006

You feel this film straining to be another 8 Mile, even as it never gets into the head of its central character

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 19, 2006

I don't feel totally satisfied with the emotional payoff, perhaps because it's so hard to associate with the characters, despite the fine performances. Fans, of course will love it.

Turns out Eminem is a better faux-gangsta than 50 Cent. Now run along and bust yo dope rhymes at a Bat Mitvah before heading back to your 18-bedroom mansion in Farmington, CT. You're so street, Curtis.
