75A film with a rich and convincing texture, a drama with power and anger.
-
60Mildly engaging but very far from being for 50 Cent what "8 Mile" was for Eminem, this lurchingly structured story of survival against the odds looks to get off to a strong start thanks to the singer's large following.
-
60For all its biographical truth, Get Rich's journey into a ghetto of hustlers, gangstas and mindless violence is all too familiar.
-
38A gangsta rapper without fire in the belly isn't terribly interesting, cinematically or musically.

BenM.4The opening scene is pretty good, but it's downhill from there. Terence Howard as Bama is the best thing is this film, he steals the movie.
