Synopsis
Empire State (2013) is Dito Montiel's crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM, built around a New York robbery that actually happened in 1982 — at the time the biggest cash haul anyone had pulled off in the country.
Chris Potamitis wanted the police academy and washed out, so he took a guard job hauling money in armored trucks instead. One careless remark to a childhood friend about how loosely the depot was watched, and he's roped into a plan he can't talk his way out of. A dogged detective starts closing in. Liam Hemsworth plays the kid who never meant to be a criminal; Dwayne Johnson is the cop on his tail; Emma Roberts and Nikki Reed fill out the cast.
A lean 94-minute heist drama about an ordinary guy who says one thing too many. Worth it if you like robberies shot without the gloss, grounded in the grit of early-eighties outer-borough New York. Stream Empire State (2013) online on iFILM.
