After Rabbit freezes up in the midst of an MC battle, he's convinced he's missed his chance and that he's doomed to lead a marginal life as a factory rat for the rest of his days.

8 Mile submitted by SBNB on June 25, 2012, 6:14pm This movie isn't awesome, but it's good enough. The rap battle at the end is, in my opinion, the best part.

Expected to hate it but... submitted by delunay1468 on July 11, 2012, 12:45pm I expected to hate this movie. Inner city rap in not my favorite thing. I was suprised to find the story compelling with the music being a huge part of the story. A worthwhile movie.

Good submitted by leenajong on July 26, 2015, 9:40pm Rap is not my thing but this movie is better than expected.
