    No only 4-5 songs were in the movie excluding All I Think About.

    It was a good movie but very common usual scenario it had. A famous boxer somehow f---s his life up and then after a time period of depression he came back even stronger and better beating the odds.

    It was a good movie. Nothing spectacular. EM definitely couldn't have pulled it off better than Jake tho.

    I strongly disagree. Very simple character Jake deserved more of a challenge. Eminem played B Rabbit good because it was written for him it was an easy character to play same goes with this. I wouldn't even say the movie was good it was pretty underwhelming but I love how they had that legit boxing world feel to it.

    Re read obviously Eminem can't act better than Jake lol that goes without saying but I don't think anyone should say Eminem couldn't have played this role himself and good at that

    It was a 6/10 movie. Good acting the PPV events were done very well but it was very cliche & predictable.

    I wouldn't consider it a "simple" character although it's definitely not the most challenging role to play. That being said, if they were to redo the movie with the exact same scenes and the same lines and compare the two. Jake would easily have the better performance.

    I edited my post I don't know if you caught that but pretty much answers what you just said
    I personally think the character lacked way too much and the movie was a little dull at times
    Comparing this to movies like Nightcrawler and Prisinors it's nowhere near the same level

    I agree, they could of pushed the acting a little further. Jake is more than capable. I thought what you meant was EM would have done a better job. But yea, the role was probably written with EM in mind. I'm sure he would have done a good job too.

    Btw those are 2 great movies.

    i loved the movie, and the soundtrack did fit well. Loved the very first second of the movie when it just blasted "IMMA MOTHERFCKING BEAST!!!"
