There is something special about Get Rich or die Tryin´. It looks so real to me, I don’t know yet whether this is based on a real story but it really looks like it. The movie depicts the life story of a young African American (50 Cent) in a crack neighborhood filled with crime, drugs, hatred, respect and rap. As a youngster, with no father and a drug dealer mother, childhood was not easy. One day her mother got killed and he soon continued her way. He enters into an organized drug gang and builds a profile of hard and disciplined worker arisen some jealousy among others in the group. The young gangster has his own “soldiers” and his personal love for rap music. One day he decides to revenge an attack on a friend of his that left him on a wheel chair: he puts some bullets in the man that tried to kill his friend but finally he had to pay the price and sit his time at the joint in order to keep the calm established between his boss and the competitor Colombian gang. At the jail, the Colombians try to waste him while at the shower and his agent to be saves his live. At the solitary cell he composes a hit that will identify him among the other gangsters and at the end he will choose his sharp tongue in his lyrics to take down the man that put a contract on him. Score: 6.5
