"All Access Europe" is a behind-the-scenes look at rap sensation Eminem as he travels through Europe on his 2001 tour. Joined by his crew D12, the controversial MC lets the cameras roll as he and his entourage traipse through such places as Hamburg, Oslo, Amsterdam, Brussels, Paris, Manchester and London. Much of the action is shot on hand-held camera which captures the posse hanging out backstage, getting drunk/stoned, rehearsing in empty stadiums and performing in front of immense and adoring crowds. We also get to see Em drop his pants - twice. While this is entertaining at times, it's hardly insightful. Sporadic interviews reveal aspects of Slim that we already knew: that the interview/media process bores him; that Dido helped his career out as much as he helped hers with "Stan". The best aspect of this slightly lacklustre release is the constant soundtrack that the live footage offers: Em and D12 perform all the classics here like "The Way I Am" (with Marilyn Manson), "Stan" (with Dido), "I'm Back", "Devil's Night", "The Real Slim Shady" and hordes of others, showing himself a capable performer and a truly inspirational rapper.
