GMovier - 极影客

故事始于1995年冬天的底特律。在一家名为TheShelter的hip-hop俱乐部里，每到周末乐手们都聚在一起，进行一对一的60秒钟表演比赛，最后由人群决定谁是此轮的胜出者，进入下一轮直至决出周冠军。当轮到小吉米・史密斯上台表演时，他却卡壳了。随后我们进入到吉米的个人生活之中。他在酒店当门童，因与女友分手而丢掉了汽车，不得不重回到拖车里和母亲以及同母异父的妹妹一起生活。吉米继续着他的个人奋斗：他不仅要面对被轰下台来的尴尬，还要应付与母亲一起住在拖车里生活的现实。与此同时，母亲男友的出现，来自生活、工作和朋友的压力，与一群hip-hop乐手的激烈竞争……所有的这一切，都需要他去面对解决。
故事聚焦于一个年轻人的生活，表现出主人公试图冲破团体与家庭的束缚，建立自己个性的情感斗争，以及他勇于用音乐表达愤怒和恐惧，跨越种族与个人的身心障碍，并最终逃离底特律城的生活经历。

这是hip hop乐坛红星艾米纳姆的电影处女作，是有关他本人真实生活经历的自传性电影。由《洛城机密》的导演柯蒂斯-汉森执导，金·贝辛格在片中饰演母亲一角。剧情纯属老套，但居然处理得颇为成功，让人觉得主创者倾注了真诚。制片人格雷泽尔认为在《8英里》的制作中，艾米纳姆充分展现出其震撼力和成熟魅力，给他留下了非常良好的印象。同时他还称柯蒂斯-汉森执导了一部充满了生活气息的迷人影片。艾米纳姆与说唱乐明星德瑞博士(Dr. Dre)一起负责本片的音乐和声带制作。影片和音乐均大受欢迎。
