The main reason why 8 Mile was a delight to watch was because of the cast. They weren't perfect in any way and that's why I enjoyed watching them.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

I was under the impression that 8 Mile was a fictionalised account of Eminem's rise to fame. But it felt very cinematic and predictable as I was watching it, particularly the low point at the end of the second act – and, sure enough, it says in the credits that it's purely a work of fiction. It does seem it was inspired in part by Eminem's own life, though; it ma... read more

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.

"13.7. Netflix Uusintakatselu. Erinomaisen soundtrackin ja niin ikään erinomaisten rap battle -kohtausten ohessa on keskinkertainen ja nähty kasvutarina, jota ilman ei kait näillekään sijaa olisi. Sankari tekee kyllä virheitä, mutta nämä vain korostavat sitä, että on kuitenkin messias. Mobb Deepin Shook Ones, Part II:n toistuminen ja lopulta kehitys pieneksi juonipointiksi, sankarin kehityksen mikrokaarena, miellytti erityisesti. Tällaista sniikkiä kekseliäisyyttä, mutta kehyst"
