Good start, but then it gets ruined
Crappy film
Absolutely brilliant
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
if you like rap music this is one for you, i absolutely loved it starting out at a dead end job to gaining respect in the streets of rap circles The film, set in 1995 and loosely based on Eminem's actual upbringing, is an account of an aspiring white rapper named Jimmy "B-Rabbit" Smith, Jr. (Eminem) the Film is mostly done on location in Detroit and its surrounding areas, the film was both a critical and commercial success with a great soundtrack to it with lose yourself and a great starting verse to rap greatnessLook If you had One shot Or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted In one moment Would you capture Or just let it slip?

I have to say, I never seen Eminem be in a lead role before. He absolutely killed it! He is such a legend like I wish he acted in more films like this! I like the fact he just was himself even if he was only just acting. I'm also glad that Brittany Murphy (RIP) played his love interest. I wish they didn't make her character cheat on Eminems character. Both herself and Eminem were just an amazing couple together. You can see in the sex scenes, they just were so passionate of each other. I'm not sure if they went out in real life but you know well that they had something between them! It's too bad Murphy isn't with us anymore, she was such a great actress ;(A very good strong movie about rap culture. I give this film a rating of 8/10!
8 Mile is a great film with a reasonable plot and a terrific cast. Eminem certainly does an effective job in a movie that is essentially his baby, his performance is very deep and personal, he certainly does not hold back, bringing his story to life through a fictional character. However, the plot was missing something, every scene is somewhat formulaic and predictable, you know how each each will end as soon as it begins, it is short on surprises. The highlight of the movie is certainly the rap battles, I am a fan of Eminem's music, but I feel people who are unfamiliar with his art can still appreciate the drama and intensity of these scenes, the raw emotion of the cast is overwhelming at times. While it has its flaws, 8 Mile is well acted, with a superb soundtrack, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good drama. A young blue collar worker attempts to escape from his dead end life by competing in rap competitions. Best Performance: Eminem
