	8 Mile Style
		Mark remembers exactly where he was -- driving on 9 Mile near Greenfield -- when he heard the teens rapping on the Friday night open-mike show hosted by radio DJ Lisa Lisa.
		Mathers was still struggling, performing at poorly attended rap showcases in Detroit, but things were picking up for the Bass Brothers, and in 1993, they closed the home studio and opened a bigger one up the road.
		They called it the Bassment, and finally came up with a name to describe their world: 8 Mile Style not only referenced their studio's new location, it paid homage to the notorious zone where fl and white culture symbolically met.

	Henry Payne on 8 Mile & Detroit on National Review Online
		The title of the movie is both a literal and symbolic reference to Eight Mile Road, the street that runs along the entire northern boundary of Detroit.
		For movie director Curtis Hanson, Eight Mile is a metaphor for overcoming the odds.
		And as politics, Eight Mile is stark evidence of the failure of liberal urban policy.

	8 Mile \| The Brunching Shuttlecocks
		And so we get 8 Mile, a movie about a white rapper in Detroit trying to prove his worth in a dark, depressing reality of poverty and hopelessness.
		Not that 8 Mile doesn't have a plot, but the truth is, when the movie ends, nobody has changed.
		8 Mile feels like he did all he could, but in the end, this is still a film about people rapping at each other.

	The Marshall Mathers movie - Salon
		Curtis Hanson's "8 Mile," a not-really-but-kind-of biography of Eminem in which the rapper himself stars, is straightforward, rudimentary, old-fashioned moviemaking, cranking away in the service of a story we've seen over and over again, from "Rebel Without a Cause" to "Saturday Night Fever." But "8 Mile" actually seems to be straining against originality.
		For better or worse -- and maybe, in the end, it doesn't really matter all that much -- "8 Mile" is far less sophisticated than Eminem's music itself: As a performer, Eminem is a master of point of view, an artist who puts himself (and his reputation) at the mercy of the characters he creates.
		His disgrace and disappointment kick-start the picture: From there, "8 Mile" is all about Jimmy's efforts to find his voice and to use it as a tool, a crowbar to get him out of some pretty dismal circumstances.

	8 Mile (2002): Reviews
		What makes 8 Mile transcend the formulaic nature of its plot is the way it makes these rap competitions compelling even for those unfamiliar with rap music, and its scrupulous, loving rendition of a grim, wintry Detroit circa 1995.
		There is some exhilarating wordplay in 8 Mile, and you don't have to be a fan of rap to appreciate its quicksilver energy and mischievous wit.
		The real drama -- and poetry -- in 8 Mile are in those fiery face-offs, the hip-hop battles, as Jimmy rat-tat-tats his rap in deft flashes of spontaneous combustion.

	Eminem 8 Mile
		What you get in 8 Mile is a brave film that is surprisingly culturally and intellectually rigorous and an aggressive film that is so emotionally intense that it seems to sometimes tear itself apart.
		8 Mile is a good movie as far as showing part of the World to many who don't care about this culture, just exactly how life in it for some can be.
		I think 8 Mile could have a sequel that'd be better then the prequel showing him just break into the Rap game as an underground cat and making his way up.

		We are hardly started in "8 Mile," and already we see that this movie stands aside from routine debut films by pop stars.

	8 Mile
		Based loosely on rapper Eminem's escape from poverty and rise to the big time, "8 Mile" lends insight into the world of hip-hop with rawness far beyond "Brown Sugar." There is little polish on the characters, or the look of Detroit and how the musicians/poets rise to the top of their game.
		"8 Mile" is the flip side of everything about music in Detroit that the soon to be released "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" is not.
		"Fine," says Pam, "but no kudos for the profanity." "8 Mile" has a lot going for it with the positive aspects of hip-hop; appreciating different types of friendships; understanding guns and gangs, and knowing the boundaries of violence and in general keepin' it real.

	CNN.com - Review: '8 Mile' a winning debut for Eminem - Dec. 28, 2002
		Set in 1995, "8 Mile," written by Scott Silver, is a combination of a coming-of-age story and a succeeding-against-all-odds tale.
		While not exactly a musical, "8 Mile" is most certainly a drama with music (much of it written and performed by Eminem) that's instrumental -- and organic -- to the plot.
		Her route is modeling, not music, but she and Rabbit have a common bond in their desire to leave the world of 8 Mile Road behind them forever.

		8 Mile feels like a real movie only because Curtis Hanson never treats it as anything less than a real movie.

	SPLICEDwire \| "8 Mile" review (2002) Curtis Hanson, Eminem
		The charismatically angry white hip-hop star is in every scene of "8 Mile" -- a film inspired in part by his own days as a hungry young rapper, scrapping his way through smack-down rhyme battles in mid-1990s Detroit.
		If he can get over it, he'll probably be OK. But it's pretty clear that nothing ever comes easily to anyone living near 8 Mile Road, the dividing line between poor fl and white neighborhoods in a bad part of Detroit that gives the film its title.
		"8 Mile" is anything but a soundtrack-driven popcorn flick for a poseur musician to cash in on his popularity.

	8 Mile (2002)
		For one, 8 Mile might have the most believable, most powerful representation of an automobile factory of any film in the last twenty years, and it still manages to use the location for sophisticated, plot driving drama.
		It's very heavy and bleak, at times it skirts the boundary of cliche a little bit, and the villains, a rival rap group known as the "Free World," are a little over the top, but, time and again, the solid acting and daunting camerawork keep coming back to seize the eye and command attention.
		All in all, the thing that really defines 8 Mile is how committed to this idea the cast and crew must have been in order to make this film.

		His performance is helped by the fact that Scott Silver's script is extremely close to the circumstances of Eminem's own life, and he basically plays himself in his own gritty urban environment in the budding stages of his career.
		Set in the slummy 8 Mile district of Detroit in 1995, it opens at a rap contest in which he's the only white contestant.
		"8 Mile" also is unusually strong in establishing a convincing camaraderie in its young cast and clever in the way it subtly turns the racial table to depict the plight of a white artist trying to make it in a fl man's medium in a predominantly fl world.
