very real...

Rating: 7/10 (30 January 2004)

I'm not a big fan of rap music, but the one artist I can tolerate is Eminem. And he's not such a bad actor, either. this movie is very effective, quite realistic and gritty. I think its a good movie on the grounds that everyone has a barrier to overcome in their life, and it doesn't make any difference what that barrier is. The message is very strong, and the characters are believable. I recommend this movie to those who want to see a realistic movie and not a cookie cutter action flick.
