Amazon.co.uk Review
Rap star Eminem makes a strong movie debut in 8 Mile, an urban drama that makes a fairly standard plot fly through its gritty attention to detail. Jimmy Smith (Eminem), nicknamed B Rabbit, can't pull himself together to take the next step with his career--or with his life. Angry about his alcoholic mother (Kim Basinger) and worried about his little sister, Rabbit lets out his feelings with twisting, clever raps admired by his friends, who keep pushing him to enter a weekly rap face-off. But Rabbit resists--until he meets a girl (Brittany Murphy) who might offer him support and a little hope that his life could get better. Under the smart and ambitious direction of Curtis Hanson (LA Confidential, Wonder Boys) and ably supported by the excellent cast and the burnt-out environment of Detroit slums, Eminem reveals a surprising vulnerability that makes 8 Mile vivid and compelling. --Bret Fetzer, Amazon.com

Famous raper's Eminem debut in a movie; and it's really great! It is somehow of an autobiography of Eminem, describing the difficulties he faced back in 1995 in Detroit, while trying to evolve and become probably the best raper in the world that he now is! The movie is accompanied with a great soundtrack, "Lose Yourself", which lead Eminem to win an Oscar! As for the special features of the dvd, they are very good, including making of, interviews, rap contests, backstage plans, trailers of upcoming movies 2 Fast 2 Furious, The Hulk) and others. Movie 5/5, Dvd 5/5, Overall 5/5. Buy it! It's worth it!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Gilbert "thegilb" (Chatel sur Rolle, Switzerland) - See all my reviews       This review is from: 8 Mile [2003] (VHS Tape) I went to see this film as a favour to my 12-year old daughter. I have followed Eminem's career and the tabloid stories of his offensive behaviour, lyrics, whatever, and would hardly have rated him as having potential as an actor. Nor would I have expected him to appear in a good film. Boy, was I wrong! This film is fantastic, a joy to watch. The acting is excellent, headed by Eminem himself, Basinger is great as his dumb mum, and Brittany Murphy is dead sexy as the blonde who wants to sleep her way out of the neighbourhood. Eminem's "crew" is full of enjoyable characters and the "bad" rappers are, well, oozing badness. And the music is excellent, powerful and rhythmic, it goes right through your bones. On top of all that, the plot moves along nicely, with peaks of intensity as the rap "battles" rage and as an undercurrent of violence occasionally breaks surface. I particularly enjoyed the rapping confrontation during the lunchbreak at the car plant, full of poetry and humour. On a simple level the film tells the tale of a young man who confronts his demons – both within himself and in the outside world – and triumphs. But there's much, much more than that in this film. For a start one of the greatest surprises is the message of tolerance that is woven throughout the film. There is no hint of racism, and for example Eminem defends and befriends a gay man and takes care of his kid sister. And what little violence there is is mostly fairly tame, with the conflict taking place between wordsmith rappers' tongues rather than fists. There's also plenty of humour and self-deprecation, not a hint of macho-man posturing, as shown in the surprising ending. So if you like rap music, you like good storylines and good acting, or you simply want to see what this guy Eminem is all about, see this film!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
