I really enjoyed this film, I am a John Leguizamo fan and finally watched this and got what I expected, I wasn't disappointed at all. Leguizamo gives a awesome performance as drug dealer Victor Rosa, the selection of characters was superb and I found fit well. Empire is a good film, good story, and pretty good cast, I would recommend this movie for a rental, I was happy I rented it and hopefully you will be also.
