Sounds true: that's big enough yet

Rating: 7/10 (17 February 2003)

The story itself is not thoroughly interesting or deeply engaging. But it's well directed, well paced and the focus is really well thought. In fact there was much worse to be feared as a vehicle for Eminem.
People living and craving for hope in gloomy suburbs will find it even more engaging but for the others it will simply sound true as nothing seems to be too obviously cinematographically challenged.
Anyway if the comparison makes sense to you let's say Eminem's albums are much better than 8 mile alone.
