A fine warmth

Rating: 8/10 (22 October 2004)

8 mile pleased me very much and others it didn't. I'll go with the negavites first. The acting wasn't all great. Eminem did okay, but sometimes he just didn't clear his words out and he always got mad all the time. The rest of the actors were okay to but needed just a little bit more of teaching in acting school. Some parts were boring also. I mean it just got boring sometimes. Eminem was always through troubles and it just got boring that he got mad all the time at the world. It's like, okay now your a rap hero. Hard Life!! My positives were is that the movie was very exciting and funny. It kept you at the edge of your seat in a lot of areas, which I liked. The funny parts are like when Eminem rapped at the end to that one guy and was making fun of him. That and when the white guy in the ghetto shot himself accidentally. Oh my god that was hilarious. There were many very good scenes actually. I mean it was very realistic of all the happenings growing up in Detroit and it was just very stimualting as it grew. I think living in that neighborhood of trailers with one white guy and black kids around is very tough actually. I can see through Eminem's eyes how tough it was. Very realistic, indeed. Overall a very suspenseful film with great rapping from the greatest rapper of all time. If you want to see this movie, I highly recommend you watching this. I mean you can't miss the film or know what it's about. It's pretty easy if the movie comes from Eminem. Good movie and this what I call a movie, "a fine warmth." See it
Hedeen's outlook: 7.5/10 *** B-
