Or at least the direction should have insisted on a more cohesive exploration of an athlete at death’s end with cancer. Curtis Jackson should have hired a screenwriter. That’s why you wonder where the film went after Curtis’ cancer. Certainly we believe that the character, Deon, is at the end of his rope, and I was reminded of Christian Bale’s work in The Machinist, 2004. And there are moments when his appearance even distracts from his performance. 50 Cent before losing weight.īy the middle of the movie, his face is so hollow he looks nothing like the actor we became familiar with at the beginning of the film.

You’ll be amazed that indeed, Deon, (Curtis Jackson), in the span of your 1 hour and 48 minutes, lost some 60 pounds of weight. If you can concentrate on the noteworthy parts of the film, you will appreciate the work ’50’ has done here. This is a fact I wish to share not because you need to know how much weight he lost, but because I wish to forewarn you about the plot itself, the cinematography, the direction and such. I can applaud the man for his determination, not his film I think his willingness to improve his acting, go the extra mile, befits a memorable mention in any circle, especially for an independent film. Still, how he succeeded in making All Things Fall Apart, in the span of an hour and 48 minutes, beats me!ĭespite Curtis Jackson’s verve and commitment for this proverbial role – losing some 60 pounds (from 214 pounds to 154 pounds) – This film falls apart in a little over 10 minutes. If anything at all, it goes to show that Curtis Jackson will give anything to have his way. Though his $1M bid for the title ‘Things Fall Apart’ fell through – the Nigerian writer, Chinua Achebe, just won’t let him – he still managed to make ‘All Things Fall Apart’.

Curtis 50 Cent Jackson’s renewed dedication to the art of filmmaking is creeping up on everyone.
