Me too, I was impressed. Not only with his rapping ability, but he's not a bad actor!

I haven't seen it yet. Why is it called 8 mile?
In Detroit, it's the road that separates the good and the "bad"... ;)

Good movie. Good acting. Who'd of thunk it?

I'm not exactly sure but it has to do with where he lived in Detroit. I think it was how they refurred to the poor trashy part of the city.

if you notice the referrences to 313 and 810 (detroit area codes). 8 mile rd is where those area codes meet. you're not considered street if you're not from 313.
