An Underrated Masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2006)

When I went to see this i didn't know what to expect since most rappers don't make good actors (with the exception of Ice Cube & LL Cool J), but i was very surprised to see how good it was. Eminem did an amazing performance and showed that he has a lot of talent. Kim Basinger also did a great job as Eminem's depressed mother who is just trying to survive. What I also liked about the film was the music. I am a big rap music fan and i think they did a good job putting together all of the music.I think they made a great portrayal of Detroit and what life is like for people growing up poor.This film is truly an underrated masterpiece that people need to see.I think that people who don't like rap music still would enjoy this film because this movie has a lot more elements then just rap. There is drama,action and humor. It is definitely a great movie that you must see.
