Description of Empire State (2013):
After failing to get into the police academy, Chris Potamitis (Liam Hemsworth), settles for a security guard job with the EMPIRE STATE Armored Truck Company.

As the stakes continue to rise, Chris and Eddie must outwit James Ransone (Dwayne Johnson), the veteran NYPD Detective that is hot on their trail, as well as the local crime bosses that want to know who pulled a job on their turf, or suffer the consequences.

User Review:
"Where is Chris and where is the money?" Chris (Hemsworth) failed to get into the police academy and ends up taking a job with an armored truck company. After telling his friend about the amount of money he is in charge of guarding his friend comes up with a plan to rob the place he works. Things don't go as smooth as planned and now they have to try and stay one step ahead of the local mob and detective James Ransone (Johnson) or wind up in jail or worse. Going in I was expecting a heist movie and I am usually a big fan of that genre. For a movie with a cast like this I was really expecting a lot more. I'm not talking about the acting because The Rock and Baby Thor aren't the best around but at least they make action movies entertaining. Thats's where the disappointment sets in. This is just about the least exciting heist movie I have seen. The only thing that really saves it and makes it worth watching is the fact that this is a true story. Hard core fans of The Rock will most likely like this more then me though but be warned that he is a secondary character and Hemsworth really carries the movie. Overall, don't go in expecting a full out action heist movie like I did or you too will be disappointed. I give it a B-.
