testament of will power

Rating: Null/10 (16 November 2002)

I really liked this movie which touches on an emotional vein with which most people can identify....finding the will within yourself to rise above. Eminem, who I appreciate as an artist and as a person, gives a more than creditable performance. However, this role is so much who he is that it's hard to rate his worth as an actor. Of course he gives a commanding performance.....the role is right up the alley of his real life. While the jury is still out on his acting acumen, I would love to see more of Eminem onscreen. He has a magnetism that is magnified on the big screen and he's got the leading man charisma. He has all the ingredients to be a great actor....let's see him in different roles and then we'll know for sure. All in all, this was an excellent first time out. Two thumbs up.... :-)
