After failing to get into the police academy, Chris Potamitis settles for a security guard job with the EMPIRE STATE Armored Truck Company. Chris makes the mistake of mentioning the company’s lax security to his best friend, Eddie, and is soon unwittingly drawn into an elaborate scheme to rob the abundant amounts of cash being stored there – resulting in the largest cash heist in U.S. history.
It was always a good thing to see Australian actors like Liam Hemsworth getting, and I’ll admit it I took to hire this one not because Liam Hemsworth is one of my favourite actors but simply because he is Australian.
Normally I find true crime movies (if you disregard the fact that parts of the story are going to be altered for dramatic purposes) interesting. Now Empire State is a watchable movie it just that I found myself unable to whether or not Chris and Eddie got arrested, because even though the character of Chris had noble intentions, both of them where idiots.
