Rating: 5/10 (3 May 2003)

Remember Purple Rain, Flashdance,...and a billion movies coming from H'wood with the same pattern. A failure at the start, story without any twists in the middle and a finale with a win. 8 mile is one of them.
What doesn't mean that this movie is bad. No, respecting Eminem for what he did in his life, I must say that movie is quite watchable. And got a very hot scene in car factory with Alex (a great play by Brittany Murphy). O.k. plus some superb hip-hop battles.
But those two things aren't enough to put this one above average. Eminem play was o.k., but hey, he played itself, while others (apart from before mentioned Brittany Murphy) were unnoticeable. Even Kim Basinger. The characters are weak, the plot also, not to mention the directing.
All in all, far better than Britney Spears movies, but because of before mention flaws and not bringing something fresh into world of movies just
5 out of 10.
