Based on the true story of the biggest cash robbery in U.S. history, Dito Montiel’s Empire State tells its tale simply and occasionally effectively. Plotting gets in the way sometimes, and the tale seems a little muddled in the flashback technique adopted by the director and his screenwriter, but the movie has some authentic feel for the early 1980s (especially for a film made on a low budget), and it contains some characters whom we’d love to have gotten to know better.
