8 Mile (2002)
An Underrated Masterpiece
When I went to see this i didn't know what to expect since most rappers don't make good actors (with the exception of Ice Cube & LL Cool J), but i was very surprised to see how good it was. Eminem did an amazing performance and showed that he has a lot of talent. Kim Basinger also did a great job as Eminem's depressed mother who is just trying to survive. What I also liked about the film was the music. I am a big rap music fan and i think they did a good job putting together all of the music.I think they made a great portrayal of Detroit and what life is like for people growing up poor.This film is truly an underrated masterpiece that people need to see.I think that people who don't like rap music still would enjoy this film because this movie has a lot more elements then just rap. There is drama,action and humor. It is definitely a great movie that you must see.

Big Pun Should Be Turning In His Grave
When I rented this from blockbuster i wasn't expecting much but i thought it might be an OK flick because of some of the rappers in it. All i can say is that i was wrong. This film was so bad that there were moments when i just wanted to turn it off. Most of the acting was cheesy and unbelievable and the effects were as low budget as it gets.Big Pun Should Be Turning In His Grave after making such a bad film.All I can say is that i want the time back that i wasted watching this and that hopefully you won't make the same mistake i did. I gave the film a 2 just because Big Pun was in it and i thought he did an OK job. So next time you go to your local video store please avoid this movie.
