Plot Summary
Marcus (50 Cent) has always known he was going to be a rapper. But when his mother is murdered, young Marcus turns to dealing drugs for New York crime boss Majestic to pay the bills. As dealing turns to gang banging, however, Marcus finds his life spinning out of control, eventually landing in prison. While there, he decides to quit hustling and dedicate himself to his music...but by turning his back on Majestic, he may have signed his own death warrant. Terrence Howard co-stars in this hard-hitting story based on 50 Cent's transformation from gangster to rapper, an unforgettable ride from tragic beginning to triumphant end.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Jim Sheridan's film, loosely based on the experiences of its star, the glowering rapper 50 Cent, lacks an emotional core.
Rotten: The film's inability to resist the lure of maximum exploitation becomes frustrating.
Rotten: Director Jim Sheridan and screenwriter Terence Winter have difficulty fashioning these events into a story that has a coherent point or purpose.
Rotten: The film moves, albeit under an oppressive cloud of deja vu.
Customer Reviews
great movie
let me start by saying that I mainly listen to metal, not rap, though I do have a few rap albums on my ipod. This was a great movie no matter what your feelings are about rap. whoever said that it has a bad plot is probably retarded. ITS BASICALLY AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY, ITS ABOUT HIS LIFE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN A BAD PLOT, THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED.
nice nice
