Default 8 Mile

Of those who've watched it, what do you reckon?

I watched it recently and found it decent. Eminem plays a toned down version of his controversial real-life persona and seems to be trying to justify his personal life and opinions.

He does take the opportunity to directly bag his mother; in fact, he seems almost sympathetic at some stages of the movie.

The movie's depiction of the gritty urban landscape of Detroit was well-done, creating an almost grease-and-steel apocalyptic feel to it.

Overall pretty good in my opinion, if you all the controversial elemants and judge it purely as a film.
