Ok, so Eminem can't act, but damn can he rap, and that's what this movie is all about, climbing the ladder in the rap game. I only wish there was more rap in the movie, but I guess that would have gotten in the way of the core story. What I would like to note is that most of Eminem's dialogue is either rap or yelling, which is a good call on the part of the script writer because it plays to the strengths of the actor. Despite the fact that his actual spoken parts are sparse, he still had me cheering for him to the very end, maybe because I like Eminem, maybe because the gritty look at Detroit and the life of Eminem was so believable. Either way I feel that Eminem was the Susan Boyle of Detroit, disrespected and judged by his appearance from the start only to surprise everyone with his talent and damn near perfection. If you are an Eminem fan, or a rap fan in general, you should definitely watch this movie, not for the acting so much, but for the history of the artist and the background that built him into the legend that he is today.
