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.

Not as bad

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.

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.
