Good message but had some technical errors in the acting and the story.

I liked this movie because I thought 50 cent did a fairly good job acting being that it was his first movie, but he does need to improve his acting a bit more. I thought the story had holes in it because it did not show enough detail of how he developed as a rapper. He just went from drug dealer to rapper. There needed to be some progress between the two lifestyles because it is usually a struggle to become a good rapper. It would have been a better story if it showed how 50 really went from drug dealer to rapper. He met Jam master Jay of Run DMC who taught him how to rap. Anyway it is a good story because of the fact that it shows how it is in the inner city is educational to people who are blind to this kind of struggle and it shows him being able to get out the hood to pursue his dream. This will inspire young people in that position to do the same, maybe not with rap, but with their God-given talents.

A great modern gangster movie

I was expecting much from watching this movie but I was surprised. I could tell 50 was a mediocre actor from the previews but he did is best. The rest of the supporting cast were great especially Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje(Majestic)as the evil drug lord. Now it was hard distinguishing what was 50's real life and stuff just added to the movie. The scenes where he was a child were excellent and I felt his pain when his mother died. As he got older things took a turn for the worse betrayal from mostly everyone he ever trusted. I am still trying to figure out if I think is name is Dangerous is Ja rule. I finally know why he got shot 9 times. This movie does not promote the use or selling of drugs. People fell to see him trying to get his life together. Great gangster movie to see if you enjoy these types of movies.

Average at best...

This movie was as stated earlier was extremely predictable. For 50 to be as articulate and clear in his interviews, he talked as if his mouth was full of food in this flick. He didn't show as much emotion as i figured he would, but he's an OK rapper so you all would expect that. Sadly, he kind of left us at the end to believe there might be a sequel (I hope not). Overall to be "loosly" based on someones life, there was too much fantasy going on for us to think Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is as "gangsta" as he proclaims to be. For 50 Cent die hard fans this is the movie for YOU, but if i didn't pay my 5.50 to see this already, i think i could've done good to wait for this to be released on DVD. The rest of the supporting cast did and pretty cool job such as my boy Terrence Howard whom most know from "Hustle & Flow", he supplied the comic relief and out shined 50 in the scenes featured with him.
