Review of 8 Mile (2002) by Zackary C — 20 Jun 2015
8 Mile is simplistic as an underdog story, but the conviction in Eminem's lead performance and the supporting cast is satisfyingly engaging. The pacing is solid and never really drags, the cold-colored cinematography fits the mood of the film as does the award-winning soundtrack, and the climactic rap battle is motivating in how it shows an underdog with a negative upbringing under his belt, doubted by most and stepped on, can use that heartache and pain as fuel to prove detractors wrong and endure the odds to become a legend.
