8 Mile [Blu-ray] [2002]

I’m not a massive fan but it was very interesting to learn about the background of Eminem. The final ‘battle’ actually had me shouting “YES!!!!!” at the TV!Only one gripe and that was that the background music got in the way of the talking so I missed a lot of what was being said, but that could just be my hearing.

Excellent film with some good tracks

I had this DVD given to me when it first came out. Then I couldn't get enough of Eminem. Now sadly I think the DVD is outdated. I can understand Eminem went through a lot of tough times before he became famous. But really is it essential to go through one's private life in such detail. No wonder everyone he knew kept taking him to court.

I know Eminem won an Oscar for the track to this film,but he deserved at least a nomination for his performance.He is an incredible actor, truly, something I wasn't expecting to be honest.I know Jonathan Ross asked him in an interview why he hadn't done more films because he was so incredible in 8 mile, but he said his music was his passion and focus...come on Marshall, do some more moviesEven my husband who loathes rap music loves this filmWhen you have a great cast, a brilliant lead performance and a gritty raw storyline you can't fail

Excellent video stars Eminem great story line all the way through shame he didn't make a sequel to the movie

Like M and M this film fantastic plenty of meaning as story real which relays to a brilliant film

The Film was excellent, if you're an Eminem fan, still an excellent film if you are not. You have to admire the guy, he got himself out of the gutter, and worked damned hard while doing it. I would watch it again, but i am his biggest fan, thankfully though I am not Stan ;) I had a second hand one, and this has never happened with any of the second hand dvd's that I have bought, but this one froze twice, so that was disappointing.

A searing film, with a different view of America perhaps, especially in that guns are not dominant despite the poverty of the neighbourhood. Great performance by Marshall Mathers, while the relevance of the music and 'lyrics' is brought into clear focus.
