The theme song Lose yourself perfectly captures the essence of the movie with its first few sentences:
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted – One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Released in 2002, Eminems bio pic is finally making it to Blu-ray. When I originally watched this movie on DVD I was pleasantly surprised with how engaging it was. The story is perhaps not best described as captivating, but it’s certainly solid enough to keep you alert throughout the movie. Eminem is a surprisingly decent actor, and of course Kim Basinger is shining as always – even in a very white trash kind of way. And that it’s filled with really good beats does surely help, and should sound even better in DTS-HD Master Audio 5.
Extras on the disc are The Making of 8 Mile, some uncensored rap battles and Superman music video.
8 Mile blu-ray will hit store shelves on March 30.
