8 mile is not a rags to riches story, nor does it show how a rapper achieved stardom, its about a man trying to find his voice and himself in a doomed place. Eminem stars in this autobiographical piece & gives a rather fantastic performance. The cinematography brings out Detroit's Dreary & Hopeless ruins & its wasted youth who just want to get away from this place. The supporting cast did a good job & the rap battles at the end were Fire !! But the story isn't that powerful & very contained. The subplots aren't really well developed especially the romantic angle. Still a very fun watch.
