Empire State Audience Reviews

Konterr Brilliant and touching
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
askattebo Sadly we only made it through about 15-minutes worth; simply too many f-bombs that overwhelmed any dialog.
Ralph Cohen Get this I happened to work for Sentry Armored Services off of Boston post road in the north Bronx I witnessed the money room that open and without the security and accountability for each drop off at the end of the shift, we all knew that the bosses were robbing the joint everyday that so I almost knocked one of the managers out in the street, those who knew the real dogs name worked there at that time, her name was Sheba the crapping machine that dog left land mines in the loading bay every morning, now for me I left that company months prior and very broke to work for Wells Fargo Armored happily, good movie the first minutes of the movie memories!
Johan Dondokambey The story has a very nice and potential background as its base. But it turned out that the movie didn't really took advantage of this in the development and execution. The opening looks quite nice with the back and forth flow of the story, starting the story near the ending point, and the quick story buildup between the start and the conflict revelation. But then it plunges into mediocrity, and quite honestly boredom, since the movie decreased its speed significantly and let the drama and investigation set in more dominantly. The action also don't take long when they happen. Too much use of close up angles combined with the very quick camera movement with less shot accuracy takes precious split seconds at those sequences to refocus on what we are viewing.The acting seems just a standard job in overall. It's a bad surprise considering the potentials of Dwayne Johnson and Liam Hemsworth.
leonblackwood Review: This movie seemed like an episode of American Dumbest Criminals. It's not as bad as Pain & Gain, but it's not that car off. While your watching the film, you have to remember that it's a true story and that the money has never been found. The real guy who worked in security depot says that he doesn't know where the money is, which I find unbelievable, and his excuse is that the money just disappeared while he was in jail. Yeah Right! Anyway, the film could have been so much better because of the great concept, but the director didn't do a good job. Personally, I can't believe that a depot that holds that amount of money, wasn't that secure, but i very much doubt that it is like that nowadays. If they had a bigger name playing the lead, it might have been much better, but it just seemed like an average heist movie, even though it's a true story.Round-Up: For a movie with the Rock starring in it, I can't believe that it didn't get the big Hollywood treatment like most of his movies. He does stand out from the rest of the actors, but he isn't in the movie that much. All of the other actors needed replacing with a better class of actors because you can see the difference with a movie like Pain & Gain. The script could have done with a rewrite and the name of the movie, along with the poster, doesn't really show what the movie is really about. Anyway, the bonus bits on the DVD shows an interview with the real person who worked at the depot so that gives you a clearer insight into what the hell must have been going through there heads at the time. But the question still remains, were is the money....Budget: $11million Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who are I to the true stories about the biggest robbery in American history. 3/10
