EMINEM - BRILLIANT!

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2003)

Marshal Mathers is extrordinary in his range of acting ability. The characters were great and they all had awesome depth. Michelle Pfeifer is superb - the only problem I had with this movie is its slow buildup to a let down. I really think they should have focused more on the buildup to the music. There were some amazing scene's all throughout the movie, but I felt it dragged in certain places and some things didn't go together. I think if they would have focused more on the music and showed some definate movement towards a greater goal it would have been off the charts. I felt like we were just floating through his life, not really knowing where to go, which I suppose is the effect they were going for. I just kept waiting for this big build-up to the climax - that never came. But again - the actors give a performance of a lifetime and there are some amazing scenes - it's just missing the something to bring it all together. Marshal has an incredible acting ability and I can't wait to see him explore it in all aspects to follow. He can only get better.
