The film 8 Mile opens with Jimmy "Rabbit" Smith who is in the middle of a rap battle and he freezes in his first contest at the shelter.
With himself being to embarresed he returns to what he used to do at his previous job and carries on living with his mum in a trailer right next to the 8 mile road which separates the white suburbs from the largly black inner city.
The next rap battle he gets is just a week away with him trying to achieve redemtion himself from the embarresment of freezing on the stage.
Scott Silver's script garnishes its clichés with effective social commentary. The former Marshall Mathers, meanwhile, is fine, if somewhat self-conscious, as he skulks about wearing his trademark look of wounded insolence.
The rapping is the real star. When Eminem takes centre stage, he's back in an arena he knows - and his charisma and remarkable linguistic dexterity make these profane, clever and funny scenes the best of the movie.
So this was a review of the movie 8 mile, hope you like some of the stuff i've put together.
