A cliched, boring, predictable movie, with absolutely no surprises.

Rating: 1/10 (9 May 2003)

The main problem with the hype surrounding this movie is that it misleads you into thinking that what you are seeing is something original, something that has not been done a thousand times before. It promises us that the film will be frighteningly realistic and distrubing, with performances so honest, because much of it is Eminem's so-called life story.
What this movie really is is nothing but a movie you have seen one hundred times before, the only difference is that the characters names have been changed! One mans struggle to beat his tough suburban upbringing, rise above the oppression and make a name for himself?!?! Please, how hackneyed can you get? At least 2pac did a good job of playing the very same role!
The ending is so predictable you just wait there bored, waiting for it to eventually get there, and hoping that just maybe the film will surprise you along the way. It never does. This film is an embarrassment to film making!
