50 Cent's Get Rich Or Die Tryin' movie was recently screened for a small group of journalists in New York City.
The semi-autobiographical film stars Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson as Marcus -- a ruthless hustler who leaves the drug game behind to pursue a rap career following his mother's violent death. Loosely based on 50's real life, the film features parallel plots including what appears to be a re-enactment of the 2000 shooting of 50 Cent in Queens, New York. 50 also appears to carve out fictional roles for his real-life foes, including convicted drug dealer Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff who closely resembles "Get Rich" drug-lord Majestic and his artist, Dangerous, who reminds the viewer of Ja Rule.
The movie also stars Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow, Crash) as Bama, 50's manager; Joy Bryant (Honey, Antwone Fisher) as Charlene, 50's love interest and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (OZ) as Majestic, Marcus' main rival in the picture. As he rises from the underground, Marcus generates a buzz by taking shots at Majestic and his artist, Dangerous.
50 physically acts, resorting to facial expressions more than lengthy dialogue throughout the movie. Meanwhile, Terrence Howard provides much comic relief, arguably stealing the movie.
Contrary to early reports, the movie is free of G-Unit appearances. The collective is also absent from the story line.
In related news, promotional posters for Get Rich Or Die Tryin' created controversy for its graphic use of guns. Paramount Pictures, the studio behind the film, has since pulled the posters from the market.
Get Rich Or Die Tryin' hits theaters November 9th.
