Get Rich or Die Tryin'

Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) is Jim Sheridan's crime drama you can watch online on iFILM. The story leans loosely on the life of rapper 50 Cent, who stars as a version of himself named Marcus.

Orphaned and raised in a rough neighborhood, Marcus comes up on cocaine money, first running packages, then working a corner of his own. After nine bullets fired at close range and a prison stretch, he grabs a notebook full of rhymes as his last way out. Around him are childhood sweetheart Charlene (Joy Bryant), crime boss Majestic (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje), and prison boxing coach Slim (Terrence Howard), who teaches him to fight with more than his fists.

Behind the camera is Irishman Jim Sheridan, a six-time Oscar nominee for My Left Foot and In the Name of the Father. The soundtrack, drawn from an album that moved over eight million copies, plays like a character of its own. Stream Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) online on iFILM.
