8 Mile (DTS)

The controversial rapper Eminem makes a critically acclaimed movie debut in 8 Mile, directed by Curtis Hanson (L.A Confidential and Wonder Boys). This urban drama tells the tale of a young man nicknamed Rabbit who is trapped in a downward spiral at both home and work, living in a trailer park with an alcoholic mother and working in a metal pressing plant in Detroit. Rabbit is admired by his friends for hisrapping ability, andis pushed to appear in the weekly rap battles that take place at the local Shelter. Rabbit, though lacks confidence, andis troubled by the pressure placed upon him by himself and his friends. Only when he meets a girl, who he thinks will support him, does he mapout a path that may leadto some sort of future.

Eminen is superb in the lead role and supported by an excellent cast, and a tightly woven story which maintains pace and drama throughout. 8 Mileprovides a fascinating insight into urban America, and the angerof youth living in deprived circumstances, where family structures no longer exist, and violence is a daily occurrence. One of the best films of 2002.
