Empire Review
Watch to watch Empire online?
Check out this trailer first:
So what’s Empire all about?
John Leguizamo is, in his own words, “young, Latin, and good looking” as the ambitious minimogul of the South Bronx drug trade in Franc Reyes’ Latino twist on the urban crime saga. Reigning in his hyperactive energy, Leguizamo is like a coiled spring as the street-smart player who tries to leave the violence of his trade behind in an upwardly mobile odyssey, and Peter Sarsgaard brings a discomforting confidence to the smooth-talking investment banker trusted with his millions. Few of the other characters even register in the familiar underworld tale (though Denise Richards has fun as a bubbly, skin-deep seductress) and Reyes’s flashy style is as distracting as it is energizing. It’s the smoldering presence of Leguizamo that keeps the film centered through the betrayals, the bullet-riddled battles, and the slow realization that this cunning shark has just become bait in the deep seas of high finance. –Sean Axmaker
