3/5

However, after an intriguing setup -- and a rare case of Dwayne Johnson being cast in a secondary role -- Empire State's action both slows and becomes repetitive.

Despite being based on a true story, Empire State is nothing but a bland and predictable tale that completely lacks originality.

Montiel's worked through this type of tough guy material before, yet there's still no sign of creative growth. Maybe it's time for the filmmaker to move out of New York City and see what the rest of the country is up to.

Poor acting, poorly directed, every bs stereotype imaginable, Hemsworth totally miscast, Rock phoned this one in, the plot has been done dozens of times and much better.

Features 3 amazing actors but falls short with what is probably the worst directing of a movie ever.
