Sheridan's surface vividness is applied around a vacuumNovember 10, 2005
Even more problematic is the script's clumsy, sprawling architecture, Sheridan's clubfooted sense of pacing and his grubby, indistinct visuals.November 09, 2005
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.November 10, 2005
50 Cent has some good moments, but other times he seems like little more than a blank slate.November 09, 2005
Director Jim Sheridan and screenwriter Terence Winter have difficulty fashioning these events into a story that has a coherent point or purpose.July 15, 2006
...a distinctly tedious piece of work.June 15, 2006
Marcus sells dope. Marcus buys a gun. Marcus buys a microphone. Marcus goes to prison. Marcus gets shot. Marcus makes a movie about his life that no one goes to see.January 09, 2007
50 Cent dies for our sins in disappointing screen debut.March 01, 2007

This thinly autobiographical gangsta odyssey never achieves liftoff, and Jackson is unconvincing.November 09, 2005
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.
