Get Rich or Die Tryin'

Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005)

In director Jim Sheridan's gritty urban drama, a dope-peddling street punk sets out to turn his life around through music. Determined to leave his criminal days behind, inner-city drug dealer Marcus (50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson) pursues the one thing that inspires him -- rap music -- and on his life-altering journey, the aspiring artist runs into tough times. The film's supporting players include Viola Davis and Terrence Dashon Howard.

My Two Cents: It's a movie you've seen before, and one that you watch for the music and its star, not the cinema.
