Good but over too soon

Rating: 6/10 (5 March 2003)

Before I watched 8 mile I was expecting to see Eminem portraying himself to be the best thing since sliced bread and that the film would be ruined by this. However although it started perhaps a little slow it got going and the second half was a good film. However just as I was getting into it, it was over. It was a film building up to the ending came the showdown and then that was. So many questions unanswered.
Overall looking back I really enjoyed it, it was even a look into the background of rap and shows the realities of what it takes to become big.
