A good flick

Rating: 10/10 (8 November 2002)

A gritty portrayal of life in the urban wasteland of Warren/Detroit Michigan. I was not a fan of hip hop or Eminem (until now) but this film really moved me. It's really a story about overcoming adversity and not giving up. The cinematography was excellent in capturing the desolation of Warren, MI, which truly is a bleephole if you've ever been there. The characters were well defined and you couldn't help but root for B. Rabbit and especially his little sister. Kim B. played an excellent trailer trash mama, despite some people's opinions to the contrary. I'll go see it again. The lyrics to Em's song "Lose yourself" have new meaning after seeing this film.
"You can do anything you set your mind to, man."
