BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

bboygringo 1 - The soundtrack is OK...not great just good, I used to be a big fan of 50 cent back in the days now I'm just not, still I don't think he's bad so I must say that the movie's soundtrack is OK. 2 - Terrence Howard: He's acually an actor, he knows how to give great performances wich made the movie he made after this "hustle & Flow" such a great and much better movie than this one, maybe Get Rich or Die Trying would've been a much better movie if he was the main character and not 50 cent. 3 - Adewale agbaje: knows how to play a psycho, a gangster or whatever, he is an actor, this wasn't his best role or movie but still I knows his spot, to me he and Terrence Howard were the only real gangsters in this so called "Gangster" movie.

dinosfearon 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.

richieandsam 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

matthewwalker50 Honestly,the overall rating is harsh on this Movie. I actually enjoyed it despite the fact that it was dull, yes. I know plenty of so called 'Dull' Movies/films/documentaries that people still enjoy watching. I mean I'll use 8 Mile and Book of Eli for examples. They are both pretty good films. Not the best, but still decent. I thought the same about Get Rich Or Die Trying' I actually like rap & hip hop stars and I'm a fan of 2Pac, Eminem, & 50 Cent. The film is relentlessly dull and depressing, yes. But people can relate to living in the ghetto like 50 Cent did. Eminem & Tupac (Along with 50 Cent) lived in the gutter to, but are still great talents. 50 Cent loves rap and gangsta. His ambition was to be a gangsta rapper. He turned away from crime to his love for rap. There is a lot of swearing and cursing, but in all honesty. If these situations were real (Some almost parallel to 50 Cent's actual life. For instance, getting shot 9 times & living to tell the tale to this day) People would swear from the sheer hard nut lives they were raised in. What happens to 50 Cents mama & having no father is tragic. And showing how he was really brought up & raised by his grandparents is pretty terrifying. The film feels is pretty realistic and I love realism in a movie. 50 Cent ain't that bad of an actor (He's not the best actor) His talent for rap though in my opinion is over average. I think It's worth watching through at least once. People need to ease up on the negative Reviews. Honestly, It's really not a bad film at all. Go for it!
