Eminems'...Top Performance

Rating: Null/10 (11 November 2002)

I saw 8 Mile on its opening day and was excited to see what was in store for me and other Eminem fans and we were not disappointed. Eminem(Marshall Mathers) gives a great performance as B Rabbit a struggling white rapper from the wrong side of 8 Mile road. Kim Basinger stars as his trailer park trash mother, who would rather bang her boyfriend than work and take care of her youngest daughter. Brittaney Murphy plays Eminem's love interest.
All in all a great film by the same director who brought us L. A Confidential. The songs on the film are top notch as well as the constant Battle Wars between Eminem and other rappers. This film is loosely based on Eminem's real life growing up on 8 Mile road although, not filmed in Detroit a lot of the locations are almost exact replicas of the real 8 Mile. I recommend seeing this film as well as purchasing the soundtrack.
