Entertainment Weekly
Leguizamo owns Empire, the first film to capture the live-wire crackle of his one-man stage shows -- He's front and center in nearly every scene, and he holds the screen with a simmering self-assurance. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
A gangster movie with the capacity to surprise. People do unexpected things and for reasons we wouldn't anticipate. - 60
Variety
Choreographer-turned-filmmaker Franc. Reyes covers familiar ground without stumbling or dazzling. - 50
Boston Globe
Rossellini doesn't do much more than show up and be a hundred kinds of ravishing. Yet there's a movie in her ageless face and that untamed bouffant. - 50
USA Today
Stereotypical, banally written bloodbath. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
This tale has been told and retold; the races and rackets change, but the song remains the same. - 40
Chicago Reader
Watching John Leguizamo labor to keep this leaky vessel afloat, I was reminded of all those Hell's Kitchen melodramas James Cagney rescued in the early 30s. - 33
Portland Oregonian
It's deeply ordinary, depressingly shabby stuff.
