People behind the movie will no doubt get rich, but it's a shame they didn't try harder to make a better picture.July 15, 2006
...a distinctly tedious piece of work.November 09, 2005

50 Cent dies for our sins in disappointing screen debut.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.November 10, 2005

50 Cent has some good moments, but other times he seems like little more than a blank slate.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.
