A Good Movie!

Rating: Null/10 (8 November 2002)

I saw 8 Mile opening day and my assumptions that it would be a good movie came full circle. Eminem did a good job for his first movie. I do not know why some people are saying Oscar because it was in no way anything close to an Oscar performance and I am glad that Eminem is not buying into all the hype that has surrounded the movie. Also much respect to Eminem for stepping out and doing a movie without a pre established action star. I though Mekhi was great and Cheddar Bob provided good comic relief while at the same time portraying a genuine friend to Eminem's character. I really enjoyed the movie and I will most likely see it at least one more time on the big screen and I wil definately own the DVD when it comes out. My overall rating is 7.5 out of 10 stars.
