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

 Empire February 25, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
A big time drug dealer Victor Rosa is looking to get out of the game and sees his chance with a big deal with a new friend who happens to be a Wall St. stockbroker. Thinking this will be his chance to go out on top Victor soon finds out that he has been double crossed and his last option is to get revenge. A little gem of a gangster movie. Leguizamo is brilliant in the lead role and has good support from the likes of Peter Sarsgaard. This movie delivers and keeps you interested right until the very end. "Empire" is a good, solid, well-acted, entertaining, action-packed joyride with great elements of truth.
 When you play the "Drug" game, you have no friends? February 15, 2010
Benjamin Arias (San Antonio, TX)
John Leguizamo plays a hardened street hustler who is striving for more money & power past the street level. Through his girlfriend he is introduced to a wall street investor played by Peter Sarsgaard, who he believes can make his aspirations come true. In over his head, out of money, out of friends & betrayed by his wall street connection, he goes on a revenge fueled rampage to find his betrayer & get his money back & win back his friends.

305 Castle (Miami)
Empire is a really good movie about a notorious drug lord attempting to leave the drug world behind to provide for his wife and son. It combines the elements of scarface, Blow, and Carlitos way into one. The movie is really good alot of fighting scenes and shooting scenes. Plus there are alot of deleted scenes not shown on tv or theater.

Shakaarii Melendez (NEWYORK-NEWJERSEY)
i love it. fat joe the rapper from my group terror squad was great in it!
meaning great as a "very natural"type dude in it. love his scene with his son best.
as for john l'character. wow great acting so real EACH/EVERY part to end as his boys roof scene was so correct.they were so 100% right on how his character"became"once meeting the trashy girl remember? lol played by my girl denise richardson with the white guy,etc they were right(the rooftop
bx scene)with that cute friend of his forget his name but with the black cute rapper from new jersey group(Naughty By Nature Treach)the other cute guy latino forgetting his name the actor but i love how they were trying to get through to john l.character.(Even if it did not work)until it was then TOO LATE.they were telling him like it is,but he got just too big for
,to listen to the one who"truly love him/carmen as the friend he always knew etc. had his best interest at heart.
as the white guy?trashy white chick etc. please.they did not care for him.
as they can care less if he end up dead in jail etc. that was so true. this movie is so so great. i love it so i easily give EMPIRE five ten stars easy.actually it is on now regular cable channel USA i been waiting to see it again,even though we have the DVD lol
it's just a great straight up new york bronx film,he portray a sexy papi chulo so easily. love him.john is so extremely talented"underated actor"imo he should have so much more movies.
yes he was pretty mean to carmen kickin her all out of his fly a--s whip lol but we all know that happens in real life etc. each day lol with some crazy papi chulo at times,as all she was doing was being honest with him but he realize later he truly need her love his mami chula. i love that.
as i love him more in serious drama love crime real life stuff like EMPIRE just adore him. love him sexy cute papi chulo funny and such a great actor. to me he is a great actor in this not all films but i am a fan of very few he is one and denzel,very good actors both,and i want him with her happy in the "end"but as we all know when you live the fake type of "Street so called fame life"it shall end eventually as she said they aren't really"your boys,or your friends"etc. he was hardheaded as always when you are? it end up either two places jail or dead......as in real life.love the movie forever though in my collection i watch it with mi papito a few several times a year. good night and happy new year to all of you.as a prudent hombre know when to
get out and"stay out"not stay in etc. for men like him whose not too wise
it is usually"too late"to turn back etc.but i still watch cause i am a fan
siempre el john leguizamo siempre..always...
adios.
