The movie's Good, but Eminem is Great!

Rating: Null/10 (16 January 2003)

Alot of Rappers want to jump into the movie scene with tragic results namely Master P, Ja Rule and DMX, the exception however is Marshall Mathers III.

Eminem picked the perfect project to showcase his "acting chops" as they say and what a set of chops they are. We'll forget about his "actual" theatrical debut in "The Wash" and focus more on this Curtis Hanson Hip Hop Urban Fable.
Eminem plays Rabbit a white kid from a trailor park who has dreams of getting a rap record deal, he goes through many trials and tribulations in his life and struggles for eveything he has.
All in all Eminem gives an outstanding performance and commands the screen, he has a pressence that just holds and draws in the veiwer.
A very entertaining and engrossing story with a riveting performance, I've heard of Oscar rumours for Eminem but I seriously doubt it though, maybe if the Academy had a catagory for Best New Actor, but since they dont, we may have to see if Em has has what it takes in the future to score one of those elusive statuettes.
