WOW! 8 Mile/Mathers has style!

Rating: 10/10 (14 July 2003)

Let me start by saying I'm not a fan of modern rap. L.L. Cool J, and some of the other older rap, I could respect. When I first heard Eminem on the radio, I really didn't feel one way or the other about his music. I did howewer like the unique way he put words together and the peculiar rhythm which somehow seemed to flow more naturally than Shakespeare. However, It wasn't until I watched 8 Mile that, I saw an even deeper side of the artist. He was very passionate in his acting. The movie captured me and I believed that was his life. He showed an intensity and a natural inner fire that most actors in Holllywood wish they had. I rated this movie 10 out of 10. Again, I'm not a rap fan, but if Marshall Mathers/Eminem/Slim Shady is in another movie I'll be there!
