This Sucked!

Rating: 1/10 (27 January 2003)

I saw this film yesterday and I have to say I can't see what all the fuss is about.
The acting is deplorable, especially Kim Basinger, and Eminem has 2 forms. Angry and violent and angry and thoughtful. People are tipping him for an oscar? Give me a break.
The plot was non existent and they never explained anything such as his ex girlfriend. WTF was all that about?
The direction was clunky and unprofessional. Maybe that's what was desired but it just doesn't work very well. Plus, who the hell would have sex in a factory?
Sure the rapping was good but that's all it was, a long music video depicting Eminem as the ruler of all he surveys. He's good but not that good.
The only plus to come out of the film was the performance of Mekhi Phifer as Future. At least he had a little bit of screen presence.
If you have yet to see it and expect this brilliant masterpiece some people will tell you it is then don't bother. If you have a hard on for Eminem and think he's the greatest rapper on the planet then this is the film for you.
