One hit wonder

Rating: 7/10 (1 October 2007)

don't be put off i am not referring to Eminem's career.
unfortunately this movie does not really capture Slim Shady's prominent career and is in no way a non-fictional narrative.
The greatest moments in the film are when you see Marshal rapping and the end rap sequence will blow your mind if you are into that sort of thing.
Otherwise the movie is a bit of a let down. Eminem proves he is not an actor with his either very timid or all out yelling approach to his script. You will not see character development in this film but i don't think that was really the point.
I cannot compare it to 50 cents movie as i haven't yet seen it but if you like Eminem you should like this film. I give this movie a 7 out of 10 simply due to the power of the rap battles and also in the special features of the DVD you really see Slim Shady reel some spit.
