boring ass movie... the direction or production just wasnt to par in my opinion... i liked the soundtrack, and some scenes were dope, but that shit was anticlimatic and dragged on... that shit with the fake Ja was funny as hell though... I didn't know that 50 and Ja really knew eachother from way back... and i'm guessing Magestic was supposed to be Supreme McGriff, right? and mcgriff was the biggest crack mover in the 80's and up, he really did build that empire, so if 50 was really close to ol' boy, you gotta believe he was somewhat grimy... i mean, his high school photo isnt with a suit, tie, and white boys like p. diddy...
yeah, the shit was interesting. i'm not a big 50 fan but i was interested in seeing the streets of NY (coming from a cali cat), in the hood hear all the billboards are in spanish... thats the biggest difference i saw between our ghetto's..

"50 Cent may strive to be fresh with his music, but this is just another doin’ the crime while workin’ the rhyme movie that only his fans will love."

"A gangsta rapper without fire in the belly isn't terribly interesting, cinematically or musically."
-- Jami Bernard, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

"Crippled by a trite story line and a serious lack of flash from rapper and first-time actor Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, Get Rich or Die Tryin' pretty much dies trying."
-- Tom Long, DETROIT NEWS
"If you insist on filming the same basic story for the third time in a row, you'd better make it better. They didn't."
-- Jack Garner, ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE
"Howard is the movie's sole saving grace, but his presence serves as a constant reminder that his similarly themed Hustle & Flow (2005) is a vastly better film."
-- Ken Fox, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE
"50 spends the film with one look on his face, and it’s the look that you imagine a caveman would have when confronted with a cellphone."
