IMDB User Comments

Leguizamo delivers This movie is good mostly cuz of Leguizamo. I like all the movies that Leguizamo is in. EMPIRE is no exception. I like the Hispanic Gang thing. I have always been a fan of gang movies. This movie is very typical of a gang movie. There are no scenes that really stand out. The revenge that Leguizamo takes on Denise Richards and her boyfriend Jack was good. I love a good revenge theme. The plot was so so and the acting was mediocre. Leguizamo saves this one. If you're a fan of Leguizamo, then I suggest seeing EMPIRE!
