Controversial
rapper
Eminem
(real
name
Marshall
Mathers)
makes
his
big
screen
debut
with
8
MILE,
a
bracing
drama
directed
by
the
increasingly
audacious
Curtis
Hanson.
Set
in
1995
in
the
bleak,
urban
battle
zone
of
Detroit,
the
film
follows
the
struggles
of a
young
man
desperate
to
make
a
better
life
for
himself.
Jimmy
Smith,
Jr.,
better
known
as
Rabbit,
is
destined
for
a
life
of
squalor.
Living
in a
cramped
trailer
with
his
deadbeat
mom
(Kim
Basinger),
Rabbit
works
in a
factory
to
make
ends
meet.
His
only
outlet
is
hip-hop.
Possessing
a
talent
for
freestyle
rapping,
Rabbit
still
hasn't
managed
to
unleash
his
true
potential.
But
his
best
friend
Future
(Mekhi
Phifer)
is
determined
to
make
that
happen.
Future
forces
Rabbit
to
enter
a
freestyle
battle
that
he
blew
the
week
before,
giving
him
another
chance
at
redemption.
Hanson's
stellar
portrait
of
lower-class
urban
disillusionment,
shot
with
uncompromisingly
gritty
realism
by
Rodrigo
Prieto,
proves
that
the
issue
is
no
longer
about
race,
it's
about
money.
Eminem
delivers
a
bold
performance
as a
troubled
youngster
trying
to
find
his
place
in a
harsh,
cruel
world.
