{"product_id":"empire-1","title":"Empire","description":"Product Description\n\nThis powerful, gripping action-thriller features John Leguizamo in a riveting performance the Los Angeles Times hails as \"superb.\" \"One of the best performances of the year!\" The gritty streets of the South Bronx meet the white-collar world of Wall Street in Empire, a hard-hitting story about the pursuit of fast money and the high price of greed. Featuring Denise Richards, Isabella Rossellini and rap superstars Fat Joe and Treach, Empire is a high-intensity, urban thrill-ride!\n\nBonus Content:\nThe Making of Empire Feature Commentary with Director Franc Reyes and Director of Photography Kramer Morgenthau Deleted Scenes The Los Angeles Premiere of Empire Empire Soundtrack Sampler Theatrical Trailer Production Notes Cast and Filmmakers DVD-ROM Features Recommendations\n\nAmazon.com\n\nJohn Leguizamo is, in his own words, \"young, Latin, and good looking\" as the ambitious minimogul of the South Bronx drug trade in Franc Reyes' Latino twist on the urban crime saga. Reigning in his hyperactive energy, Leguizamo is like a coiled spring as the street-smart player who tries to leave the violence of his trade behind in an upwardly mobile odyssey, and Peter Sarsgaard brings a discomforting confidence to the smooth-talking investment banker trusted with his millions. Few of the other characters even register in the familiar underworld tale (though Denise Richards has fun as a bubbly, skin-deep seductress) and Reyes's flashy style is as distracting as it is energizing. It's the smoldering presence of Leguizamo that keeps the film centered through the betrayals, the bullet-riddled battles, and the slow realization that this cunning shark has just become bait in the deep seas of high finance. --Sean Axmaker\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00005JLYH\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.B00005JLYH.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:John Leguizamo|Isabella Rossellini|Denise Richards|Peter Sarsgaard|Fat Joe|Vincent Laresca|Nestor Serrano|Sonia Braga|Delilah Cotto|Franc Reyes|Daniel Bigel|Michael Mailer\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Dvd comes in original case and case has original artwork.
