boring and predictable. only the "rap fight" is something different.

Rating: 5/10 (12 March 2003)

well, one could say that in this way you see what real world (better say U.S. big city suburbs) really is, but for my habits a movie where all the carachter says "f**k" with a rate of 1 each 3 words is a little bit too much.
Anyway, the whole thing is really boring: nothing happens in the first half, apart some gang-fighting and bad-company "fun", everything already seen in thousand movies, though Jimmy-Eminem is a very sympathetic caracther.
The whole story is the same thing seen in many movies: the guy who has to grow and find the braveness he lacks to win in the last fight. The only interesting thing, for me, it is that the "fight", this time is a "rap"-competion, the opponent has to chease one about the other, improvising the song lyrics in a 45 second contest. Really enjoyable, even if I could not understand all the slang expressions.
