A-plus Performance

Rating: 8/10 (6 April 2003)

Of course all of us who respect Eminem the hip-hop artist will automatically be happy with his film debut, but truthfully he went above and beyond what I expected. His character of Jimmy surely must have paralleled his own life in some respect, adding to the fact that his fans will enjoy watching. Mekhi Phifer is obviously a rising star in Hollywood! Phenomenal performances by not only him, but Kim Basinger as well. Brittany Murphy was decent, but she fell victim to playing a rather boring character. Normally, dramas bore me. However, I enjoyed this film a lot. Eminem/Marshall Mathers will surely show up on the silver screen again.
