8 Mile (2002)

dir: Curtis Hanson

The setting is Detroit in 1995. The city is divided by 8 Mile, a road that splits the town in half along racial lines. A young white rapper, Jimmy "B-Rabbit" Smith Jr summons strength within himself to cross over these arbitrary boundaries to fulfill his dream of success in hip hop. With future and the three one third all he has to do is not choke.

The rap battle scenes are well done and enjoyable, but the story and most of the other events of the movie range from mediocre to poor. Eminem's performance is good. Sure, he's basically playing himself, but that isn't necessarily an easy thing to do.

Eminem and Kim Basinger are a hoot as son and mother, but this rap-Rocky movie is mostly long and unpleasant. Does *not* recall fond memories of the Elvis Presley films
