SYNOPSIS

It took Victor Rosa a lifetime to build his criminal empire and one moment to risk it all. John Leguizamo stars in an unforgettable performance as Victor, a brilliant drug lord from the Bronx who dreams of turning his ill-gotten fortune into a better life for himself and his girlfriend Carmen (Delilah Cotto) in Empire. When a charming investment banker (Peter Sarsgaard) promises to turn Victor's drug money into legitimate wealth, Victor soon learns that the world's most vicious gangsters are the ones wearing suits and ties. Denise Richards and Isabella Rossellini also star in this action-packed crime drama about greed, vengeance, and the true meaning of power.
