Plot: Buffed-up action star Vin Diesel plays a reckless DEA agent in A Man Apart, which aspires to merge big-budget action fare with a grittier, The French Connection-style procedural drama. W...( read more read more... )hen his wife is murdered by a mysterious drug lord called Diablo, Sean Vetter (Diesel) loses his moral bearings and risks the lives of his fellow agents in a quest for revenge. A Man Apart tries to give Diesel the opportunity to demonstrate a greater emotional range, but it's a mess; the supposedly tender scenes are generic and flat, while the action scenes are utterly incomprehensible. Much of the time it's unclear who's a cop and who's a thug, so when people get shot--and a lot of people get shot--it just becomes a bland wash of blood and bullets. --Bret Fetzer

    A Man Apart was a terrible movie, but it still had a few good action scenes. There was way too much vulgarness that wasn't needed, it made the movie way too much longer than it needed to be.

    Vin Diesel has gone up on my scale of good acting performances. This is the best i've seen of him yet. The story is a bit predictable and its obvious who the Diablo guy is. However the action is solid and Vin's character is torn apart after his wife is murdered and he doesn't really know what he's doing except getting revenge!! I liked this film, shame i missed a bit when it started raining and my viewing was abruptly halted, stupid freeview!!

    Good idea for a movie, but it was a little drawn out and boring, and I think anyone could ahve predicted the end.

    This was a fantastic movie. Vin Diesel does a good performance as a member of a different gang in this action film. Lots of action, good plot. I highly recommend it.

    I watched this again late last night ( I originally saw it at the drive- in in 2003) and I'm amazed at the range Vin Diesel has as an actor. Lots of action, good plot; I highly recommend it.

    This was a fantastic movie... It was nice to see Vin in a un Riddick like role for a change.. Not the saviour of the universe!! Not to say anything bad about those roles just nice to see a different side :o)

    An okay movie that was made alot better by Vin Diesel starring in it. Diesel adds the muscle to the relatively thin plot but also adds alot of emotion and heartbreak as well.

    When a man stand for rightheous, he mean it and you will know the consequences.

    This film is similar to Walking Tall by The Rock.

    I never see Vin Diesel so seriuos, professional and emotional before. Diesel fans must watch for his difference!

    Timothy Olyphant is gayishly fit. If you like him then you should look for Die Hard 4.0 or Catch and Release.
