Gripping and powerful!!

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2002)

"8 Mile," the big-screen debut for Eminem (actually his 2nd if you count his uncredited role as Chris in "The Wash"), is the most powerful and cutting edge movie I've seen this year. Most of you are thinking "God, he's gonna be worser than Mariah Carey and Vanilla Ice. The man can't act." Well, believe me when I say this, but, after you see this movie, you're gonna be saying "DANG! THIS GUY CAN ACT." And The Slim Shady himself can act! This guy blew me away with his acting. Note to the Academy Awards: Eminem better be nominated for Best Actor or else you'll be sorry. Eminem is an actor, especially with his scenes between him and his little sister. Reminds me of that relationship between him and his real-life daughter. I have a feeling that this guy will become a great actor in the near future. If you like Eminem, then you'll definitely love "8 Mile."

A+ ****** (out of ****** stars) 13/13
