for the first forty minute and empire really shape itself up represent it appear to be a strong and confident and and relatively unknown gangster flick . at the time i do not know why and i think it be good but now i do . one of the main problem with this film be that it be purely and utterly distasteful . i do not mind film with psycho and thing and to prove a point take jackie brown and for example but theyre all so terribly shallow in this and but that be obviously throw in for entertainment . you literally feel a knot pull in your stomach . another major problem be the protagonist . he be smug and arrogant and yet ironically enough not that bad . he doesn not seem tight enough to be a drug deal woman killer . the fact be and at the end of the day and this film be completely pretentious . not slick and not clever and just dull and and meaningless this colossal mess should be avoid at all cost . out of ( 1 out of 5 ) .
