Eminem proves he is far more than the best rapper alive/ever in this stunning cinematic achievement

Rating: 10/10 (10 July 2011)

In 2007, i started listening to Eminem's music after i heard his performance in smack that, and i was impressed with his early work and the little amount of music he was putting out during that tough period of his life. i watched 8 Mile after he came back into the public eye and my best mate told me i wasn't a true Eminem fan if i hadn't watched 8 mile, which was rather childish. However, soon after this conversation, a screening of it was on ITV 4.
At the time i was a little too young to understand it fully, but after watching it again recently, i was breath taken by the beauty and realism of this hip hop underground gem of a flick.
If you are so polite as to keep reading this, and you are thinking that this is a biased film review because i am a huge fan of Marshall Mathers, i am attempting not to be.
So, here's the plot. You have your extremely talented rapper (Eminem) trying to make it big, but failing cos he shuts down. 'when it comes crunch time, where do my punch line's go' (quote from the 8 Mile song)who humiliates himself at the beginning of the movie by chocking against rapper Lil Tic (Proof) in a rap battle. After this, the film is about sub plots in his life which include, love, love lost, fighting, gang wars, backstabbing, and problems with his mum and his mums partner. The film concludes with all of these plots coming to a head and sneaking into his amazing final freestyle against the leader of the opposing gang.
Its a rare gem for music movie's, and will be considered a modern classic in years to come, and quite rightly, because this truly is an exhilarating dramatic cinematic accomplishment (some big words for the more intellectual readers)
How does it do this? Well the splendid acting from all of the cast is a big part, a well thought out plot, and an uplifting, funny, and unforgettable conclusion.
In my reviews i usually write about a problem within the film, however, i can not fault this movie at all. The whole thing is just brilliantly perfect.
So, in summary, it doesn't matter if you hate Eminem, hip hop, films, or life, this movie should be watched no matter what. Its truly gripping, and one hundred percent un-flawed in all areas.
Shame this only goes up to ten, cause i can't rate this film high enough.
10/10 Without a shadow of a doubt, my friends
