Eminem shows us that if we fight enough people and rhyme enough words, you can get anything you like.

Part 1 of The December #-Z Challenge: letterboxd.com/jimmyvon789/list/the-december-z-challenge/
What's this? A movie starring a famous musician that's actually....good?
Seriously, this movie is awesome. The performances are surprisingly fantastic, with Eminem showcasing his impressive acting ability. I want to see Eminem do more acting, especially as since 2004 his music quality has taken a nose dive. He should look into playing a different kind of part, maybe something less miserable.
At any rate, this is an utterly unprecedented success that you should go watch right now, even if you don't like rap music.

A near perfect love letter to the city and state I reside in.

Eminen steal the film from under a cast that all deliver.
This is a very good film. As dark and gritty as it is, the sheer heart that it ensues leaves you fully uplifted by the end.
And what a fucking song..

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?The movie is okay, I really like it but it's nothing special.

This film includes one of the most unrealistic group beat downs I've seen in a film. The 'battles' at the end are awesome and worth watching the film alone just for that. Overall film is good and much better than Notorious what I watched a few weeks ago.

Mediocre, es una película con un argumento bastante simple y muy alargado, yo puedo hacer una película con un argumento parecido sin que dure casi 2 horas.
La actuación de Eminem estuvo bastante buena, hubo varias escenas que me cautivaron y donde la historia se ponía bastante interesante, pero no pasa de ahí. Esta es de esas películas que son normales; no son para verlas 20 veces porque te guste mucho, no son una obra maestra, no están sobrevaloradas, simplemente, una película más del montón, nada más que decir.
Aunque no me gustó tanto, le pongo las 3 estrellas porque al menos el trabajo estuvo bien realizado y aunque es bastante mediocre, la película es normal, ni más ni menos. Tampoco hay mucho que decir sobre esto...

One of the worst sex scenes in movie history.

@Camdun_Roar: A nice way for Eminem to work off his homophobia. Apparently everyone in Detroit raps. A typical underdog story 6.5/10
