great debut

Rating: Null/10 (9 August 2003)

Not bad, not bad at all. Eminem does it again. He has it what can I say. The guy runs the show at the moment. I am not a fan don't get me wrong, but I like his recent work and especially the song "Lose your self." And the movie is not bad, even thought-provoking.
Claiming to be in a way autobiographical, which I don't really believe, this movie is about a guy trying to sober himself from the delirium of his dreams. Eminem is relatively convincing in this role though I think he was too mad throughout ought the whole movie. But I guess it's not easy to "stop living up there and start living down here." The only flaw deserving mentioning is that there was not enough music in this movie. Should have been more music, after all that's the main theme of this film.
I would even go further by saying that this movie was even inspiring. It taught a very clear message: work hard, really hard, persevere, and you might be able to make it.
