Worst movie Ive seen this year


Jesus... where do I start??

First off the acting was terrible, esp by 50 Cent(main character), his brother and the girl hes banging. The worst scene, almost painful to watch, was the part where 50 and his brother just get the news that their mother was shot and killed. I'd expect more emotion if their dog had died from natural causes... It was also very poorly written as they just moved on after her death, almost indifferent, and their main concern afterward was "rent money."

The movie was poorly written in general, with retarded cause/effect sequences and poor dialect... oh and poor acting again. There were very few scenes that I actually took seriously(mostly with Clifton Powell), and the rest were very cheesy. Actually, the shooting and killing scenes by 50 seemed kinda legit... but hey, who cant act when reliving your past. The storyline as a whole was pretty lame, and the ending itself was right on par.

I also found it kind of funny how they depict Shocka as a genius. I guess we can assume hes got photographic memory... but the way his "intelligence" is mostly shown in the movie is through his knowledge of trivial info. And the fact that a 13 year old already gets accepted to Yale, Harvard, etc... I'm sorry it just doesnt work that way.

I can go on and on... theres so much wrong with this movie I cant even organize my thoughts together.
