Nathan Rabin AV Club Only marginally more sophisticated in its treatment of cancer than The Room, which treated it as a bizarre aside never to be mentioned again. Rated: D+ Feb 16, 2012 Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com This quietly affecting work bodes well for the musician-turned-mogul's future creative endeavors for his Cheetah Vision Films banner. Rated: 3/4 Apr 5, 2012 Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com Straining to be meaningful until its blue in the face, All Things Fall Apart is a hackneyed, stilted production, held back in great part by Jackson's decision to insert himself in the lead role.

AMPM S I simply like this movie for 50 Cents performance. HE makes the film. I love the underlying themes. The camera work is amazing ! Most underrated movie I know of. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review rafael r One of the most underrated movies to ever exist! … if you havnt watched this movie it's a must for anyone, especially people who are sports fans, easily 50 cents best roll! AMAZING Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Emotional and nice got a man crying Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Mario Van Peebles HAS LOST MIND! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I was so surprised at this movie. The story was amazing, and the acting was a job well done, as well. I didn't know what I was gonna be watching, by the end of the movie I was an emotional wreck. Absolutely wonderful. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I've been wanting to watch this for a while now. I'm a huge 50 Cent fan (music wise) and I wanted to know how good an actor he is. Plus I've heard a lot about this movie concerning his weight loss for the role. I went in expecting some good stuff. Sports dramas aren't exactly my first choice but I truly love 'Invictus' so why wouldn't I like this ? I was so wrong. It was just a huge disappointment. It hurts to say this but Curtis Jackson is not a very good actor. Nor are any of the supporting actors. Paired with the bad acting was a very predictable plot. Not necessarily bad, but predictable for sure. I wouldn't recommend this at all to be honest. Though I'm happy to have seen it anyway. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
