Geeky Randy's summary

2011 drama about promising football running back 50 Cent and his unexpected fight with a deadly disease that plagues his senior year in college and chances at the NFL. The film opens with very poor acting—child-actors are always a longshot, and Lynn Whitfield's attempt at an overly proud mother just feels overdone compared to the realistic subtle emotions of Sanders, Heggins and even rapper 50 Cent in the lead role, who lost around 54 pounds for the part. And yes, while this movie has its flaws, and while one might assume this would've been a more successful film with a more commercial cast, there are some incredibly commendable creative choices in this very depressing story. What makes it so compelling are the characters' motivations, which are very different from the Hollywood cookie-cutter melodrama, but are just as interesting—a lot of the film's characters seem far more three-dimensional than what we're used to seeing nowadays. Very much a story about how the loved ones of an ill person can also suffer emotionally and financially. Director Van Peebles is great in the supporting role of the stepfather, who is loving but tries to live his dreams through his sick stepson.

*** (out of four)

I Wasn't Really Sure...

Initially, after watching this movie I wasn't sure what I thought. However, after thinking about it for a while (and forcing myself to get past that ridiculous looking Bob Marley wig 50 cent wore for the first chuck of the film...yikes!) I decided I didn't hate it. Mostly, I like the humbling of the main character, the lessons he learned about himself, and the family ties were a little heartwarming. I also appreciate how he committed to the role. I give him a B+ for effort! He's come a long way (remember Get Rich or Die Trying'?). But it was too long, and as soon as I thought we were in the home stretch, it kept going and took MORE sad turns. I started to feel duped and like I had not signed up for this kind of melodrama! Certainly not the worst thing I've seen on BET though. Not bad 50!

Great Movie!

This movie should have been given more credit. I enjoyed it, this goes to show you can't always listen to what people say. Watch it and rate it for yourself! Awesome job and the cast was perfect. This should have went to theaters, I know they would have made more money. I hope 50 cent comes out with more movies, I sure will support him! They fact that this man lost so much weight just for a role, shows his dedication and passion to break into the acting role. For anyone that has followed his career knows that this is a BIG difference to the type of roles he is used to playing. I'm excited to see what else 50 cent has planned for 2012! Let's GOO!!!

A Very Surprising - Heartwarming Drama

The Movie Is An Amazing Watch!

The feelings that you get from the plot & then the crisis really gave the movie a sad but inspiring feel. Very impressed by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's writing of this movie. In a scale to 10 - about an 7.8 - 8. Him really playing the role and losing the weight and muscle was a real sight to see. With the better to average acting displayed it didn't draw anything back from the overall plot. Over exaggerated football tackles and a very weird football training facility also consists. All while having enough drama to set a real heartwarming mood.

Overall definitely a movie worth watching.

Things do fall apart

The story line for this movie was excellent. The setting was believable enough to carry as a college background. I enjoyed 50 cent's portrayal of a young man dealing with life's struggles and unexpected bumps in the road. This movie brought tears to my heart. I appreciate 50 and the cast of this movie for putting together such a thoughtful message. (When life gives you lemons....). Even though there are moments where the acting was strained, I still take the movie as a whole and consider it to be great. I enjoyed the fact that it is basically a G rated type movie. I would allow my children to watch it and I would refer it just as much as some other inspirational movies. Thanks for keeping it clean.

50 Cent weighed 160 pounds when he portrayed the cancer-stricken Deon. The rapper went through a nine-week liquid diet and went on a treadmill three hours a day, losing his entire muscular frame. He has gained more than 40 pounds back after filming wrapped.

In some scenes Deon has a gold tooth. The sick Deon does not.

Dr. Brintall: Deon, I'm not supposed to do this. I'm required to refer you to the oncology team. Is your family going to be here soon?
Deon: It's just me this time. Look, I started to gain my weight back. I was feeling good... and my hand just seized up. Look, you're the only one who's been straight with us, Doc. Just tell me the truth.
Dr. Brintall: New MRI tests show that... the cancer's come back.
Deon: Fuck.
Dr. Brintall: You got a metastatic tumor in your brain that's appeared. It's right above the motor cortex, and that's what's affecting your hands.
Deon: I've 9,000 dollars left to my name, Doc. Can't drag my family into this again.
Dr. Brintall: Come on. Come with me.
Dr. Brintall: Isn't it fucking ironic? I'm a cancer doctor but I enjoy second hand smoke. I quit a year ago but I still like coming out here. I figure as long as I'm not lighting up, it doesn't count. Fuck it.
Deon: I don't understand, Doc. I did all the treatments. What's causing it?
Dr. Brintall: I don't know. I mean, environments, cigarettes, genetics, the sun. I mean, there's hundreds and hundreds of reasons. It's impossible to pinpoint just one, Deon. Understand? Look, when I was a resident, there was a patient that I'll never forget. She and her husband saved for years 'cause they wanted to take a trip to Africa to see the silver back gorillas in the Congo. We saw her tests. We knew that any treatment that we gave her would just be postponing the inevitable. I mean she was dying. She was riddled with cancer. I wanted to tell her, we all wanted to tell her, but the hospital's policy was pursue a very aggressive and expensive series of treatments regardless of the fact that her insurance dropped her. Her husband lost everything. Their house, the savings, he never got to take that trip with his wife. She died a few months later. Right there. In this hospital. Look, you came to me because I've been straight with you, right?
Deon: Yeah.
Dr. Brintall: Okay. Here it is. The 9,000 dollars is not gonna go very far. This costs upwards to 100,000 dollars, and even that's gonna buy you a few months, four months, five months.
Deon: And I die anyway?
Dr. Brintall: I'm telling you... I'm telling you what the tests are telling me, alright? There's always hope. But you can never run again. There's no athletics, that's over. Look, the question is... do you wanna do it in there... with those machines attached to you? Or do you want to do it in your own terms? That's the question.
