Get Rich or Die Tryin' Ratings & Reviews
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
This thinly autobiographical gangsta odyssey never achieves liftoff, and Jackson is unconvincing.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
50 Cent has some good moments, but other times he seems like little more than a blank slate.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
The film moves, albeit under an oppressive cloud of deja vu.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
The film's inability to resist the lure of maximum exploitation becomes frustrating.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Director Jim Sheridan and screenwriter Terence Winter have difficulty fashioning these events into a story that has a coherent point or purpose.
Seattle Times
Ted Fry
The story and action are serviceable, but there's very little spark in the wooden screen presence of the star and the dearth of subtext or style from the director.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
The apparent turf war between director and screenwriter results in a compromised, confusing tale of a young man trying to mark his turf.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The charismatic rapper is so utterly inexpressive as an actor that he's constantly getting swallowed up in his own movie.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Jim Sheridan's film, loosely based on the experiences of its star, the glowering rapper 50 Cent, lacks an emotional core.
Boxoffice Magazine
Tim Cogshell
What this all adds up to is a film that is effective, but not particularly unique, and thus less provocative than it might seem.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The film is a completely disheveled mess, limping from scene to scene with all the urgency of a snail taking his morning constitutional.
Zap2it.com
Daniel Fienberg
Surrounded by solid performers like Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Davis, Howard and Duke, 50 Cent doesn't register. This is his life, but he's not good enough to be the hero of it.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
This isn't Sheridan's most complex or richest picture, but there's lots of life to it: This is an unapologetically glossy pop product, powered by a strong, old-fashioned sense of B-movie melodrama.
Village Voice
Laura Sinagra
Be warned, when a fedora-sporting Godfather starts wheezing out pearls about violence begetting violence, you may die tryin' to stop laughin'.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Shockingly inert.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Sheridan gives this a pacing and depth one doesn't often find in "urban" product, though Jackson, reliving his own life traumas, is handily upstaged at every turn by Terrence Howard...
Miami Herald
Peter Debruge
For those who don't take 50 Cent's talent for granted going in, there's nothing to indicate what's so special about him, much less why he of all people deserves to have a movie made about his experiences.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
Sometimes [50 Cent] could enunciate more clearly, but he does a great job of being a bad rapper early in Marcus' career. And most musicians will say that performing badly on purpose is one of the most difficult things for them to do.
